Early market engagement |
We have completed an in-house explore (discovery) phase to determine the scope, of the proposed service. This work identified user and business needs for access and security and delivered a very small-scale demonstration prototype for two use cases. The exploratory work recommended further investigation of an ABAC model for access control. A high level summary of this initial investigation is available at https://github.com/nationalarchives/gradated-access/blob/master/overview%20and%20requirements%20for%20prototyping.md |

What the specialist will work on |
A senior developer is required to prototype a new Gradated Access service. This component will provide fine-grained access-control for TNA’s digital records. The service must receive attribute values for a request (e.g. the user, resource, purpose, location and timing of the request) made a decision on whether access can be granted and return an appropriate response. The developer will undertake rapid investigation, modelling and prototyping of the service to help us establish the feasibility of our requirements and identify suitable technical architectures, approaches and frameworks for future implementation. |
