   Consequently, any attempt to access the referenced object must be validated by the operating system, based on the ambient authority of the requesting program, typically via the use of an access-control list (ACL). Instead, in a system with capabilities, the mere fact that a user program possesses that capability entitles it to use the ...

   Components of an access control system include: An access control panel (also known as a controller) An access-controlled entry, such as a door, turnstile, parking gate, elevator, or other physical barrier; A reader installed near the entry.

7. Role-based access control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role-based_access_control

   Role-based access control is a policy-neutral access control mechanism defined around roles and privileges. The components of RBAC such as role-permissions, user-role and role-role relationships make it simple to perform user assignments. A study by NIST has demonstrated that RBAC addresses many needs of commercial and government organizations. [4]
