Abstract
A method is described for facilitating implementation of an automated system for transacting business, where the system users are subject to predetermined rules governing business conduct. Each user is assigned a user ID and has a security profile, which lists the transactions that user is authorized to perform. A list is prepared of pairs of incompatible transactions (transactions which, if performed by the same user, would violate the predetermined rules). Each security profile is compared with the list, to identify security profiles including at least one pair of incompatible transactions. A report is then generated indicating those security profiles which include incompatible transactions and the user identifiers associated with those security profiles.
