Version 1.1.104

• This page describes changes made from version HOWL Update 1.1.103

Changes

1. On the higgins call of July 3rd 2008 it was agreed that we should drop the experimental "managedBy" approach introduced in 1.1.103 in favor of a "recursive" approach where we simply use PolicyEntities to control access to PolicyEntities
   • "managedBy" attribute has been deleted
2. On Access Control in IdAS page we agreed to define a Policy class and an AccessControl subclass of Policy. This has now been done.
3. Added higgins:part attribute (and its inverse higgins:partOf)
4. Added higgins:member to be the inverse of the existing higgins:memberOf
5. Per conversation on July 10th higgins call added the following (all very experimental):
   • groupSubject as a sub-Attribute of higgins:subject. The attribute's value must be a higgins:Group and the subject is any member of the stated Group (or any sub-Group of that Group)
   • SelfInstanceOf as a sub-Attribute of higgins:subject. The attribute's value must be a higgins:Agent subclass (not instance!). The semantic is that the "subject" of the policy is that instance of the stated higgins:Agent subclass whose EntityId matches the IdAS consumer.
