Abstract
A resource manager of an operating system of a data processing system receives a first request from a first program for a ticket for accessing at least one of resources of the data processing system. In response to the first request, the resource manager determines whether the first program is entitled to access the resource. The ticket for accessing the resource is issued to the first program if the first program is entitled to access the resource. The ticket can be used by a second program to obtain rights to access the resource by acquiring the ticket from the first program, where the second program would not otherwise be entitled to access the resource based on a security profile associated with the second program.
