Attribute-Based Access Control

An access control method where access rights are granted based on policies which combine attributes.

Overview

ABAC is more granular than RBAC. It considers attributes of the user (e.g., department), the resource (e.g., sensitivity level), and the environment (e.g., time of day, location).
