Abstract
A role based access control system is described that assigns roles, which otherwise are mutually exclusive, to users based on detecting designated conditions when the user initiates actions or operations on the network. The assignment of the role to a particular user may be conditional upon one or more such designated conditions occurring. In particular, two roles that are mutually exclusive of one another may be occupied by one user for purpose of performing specified operations upon designated conditions being detected when the user initiates one or more of the specified operations. Business rules specify conditions for assigning the conditional roles.
