Cloud Authorization Use Cases Version 1.0
Committee Note 01
19 November 2014

Overview:

‘Cloud Authorization user Cases Version 1.0’ examines the requirements for authorization in the cloud using commonly defined cloud deployment and service models. These use cases are intended to be used for further analysis to determine if functional gaps exist in current identity management standards that additional open standards activities could address.
