Group Policy defines a scope for related policies to which a set of Terminologies can apply. [ISO 22600-2]
A group is a set of initiators whose members are considered equivalent when a particular access control policy is enforced. Groups allow access to particular targets by a set of initiators without the necessity of including the identity of individual initiators in a target’s ACI, and without explicitly allocating the same ACI to each initiator. The composition of a group is determined by a management action; the ability to create or modify groups must be subject to access control. Audit of access requests by the group without distinguishing the members may or may not be required. [ISO 10181-3]
If one considers an initiator identity as initiator-bound ACI, and a set of (initiator identity, operation type) pairs as target-bound ACI, under an appropriate access control policy, one obtains what is essentially an access control list (ACL) scheme [ISO 10181-3]. Accordingly, the Group Policy class equates to the ISO 10181-3 ACL scheme.
This class is derived from ISO 22600-2, HL7 DAM, and ISO 10181-3.
