Abstract

A method for dynamically associating, by a server, access rights with a resource includes the step of receiving, by the server, a request for a resource from a client. The server requests, from a policy engine, an identification of a plurality of access rights to associate with the resource, the plurality of access rights identified responsive to an application of a policy to the client. The server associates the resource with the plurality of access rights via a rights markup language. The server transmits the resource to the client with the identification of the associated plurality of access rights. An application program on the client makes an access control decision responsive to the associated plurality of access rights. The application program provides restricted access to the resource responsive to the access control decision.
