Roles become cards ?
I agree with Dave Kearns when he says
Good post today ("No User Context Decisions in your Enterprise?") from Pam Dingle ...Situations #1 and #4 in Pam's post are theoretically resolved using a role based access control approach. This leads me to the following two questions:
- Does role equal context ?
- Do (virtual) cards become a convenient means for activating one's role ?

Hi Robin - other Robin here (Robin Wilton)... Two things: first, I just spotted myself in your blogroll, and wanted to say thanks for including me!
Second, I think of role as being one factor which is part of context... That is, I would use the term 'context' to describe a much wider set of parameters, which might include things like "what device am I using", "what kind of connection/session do I have" and so on.
In my 'privacy scheme of things' (and I appreciate that there are many others), 'context' is the set of factors which, for example, helps me to decide what data I am prepared to disclose...
In that instance, it would include "who am I expected to disclose to?", "why", "for how long", "which data items", and so on...
Hope this helps...
Best wishes,
Robin
