Abstract
A method of securing a telecom network, the operation of the telecom network controlled using a plurality of telecom network commands, includes grouping at least some of the plurality of telecom network commands into a plurality of different task sets. Each task set includes one or more telecom network commands. The method further includes grouping at least some of a plurality of users into a plurality of different user groups. In addition, the method includes each user group to the plurality of task sets. The method also includes allowing the at least one user access to the plurality of telecom network commands based on the association of each user group to the plurality of task sets.
Claims17
A method of securing a telecom network, the operation of the telecom network controlled using a plurality of telecom network commands, comprising:
- grouping at least some of the plurality of telecom network commands into a plurality of different task sets with each task set comprising one or more telecom network commands;
- grouping at least some of a plurality of users into a plurality of different user groups;
- associating each user group to the plurality of task sets;
- and
- allowing at least one user of the plurality of users access to at least one telecom network command of the plurality of telecom network commands based on the association of each user group to the plurality of task sets.
A computer readable medium having computer readable instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, is operable to:
- group at least some of a plurality of telecom network commands of a telecom network into a plurality of different task sets with each task set comprising one or more telecom network commands;
- group at least some of a plurality of users into a plurality of different user groups;
- associate each user group to the plurality of task sets;
- and
- allow at least one user of the plurality of users access to at least one telecom network command of the plurality of telecom network commands based on the association of each user group to the plurality of task sets.
An apparatus coupled to a telecom network, comprising:
- a memory comprising:
- a user list which comprises a plurality of users of the telecom network;
- a user group list which comprises a plurality of user groups wherein each user group comprises at least one user of the plurality of users;
- a command list which comprises a plurality of telecom network commands of the telecom network;
- and
- a task set list which comprises a plurality of task sets wherein each task set comprises at least one telecom network command;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- receive a request to access a first telecom network command of the plurality of telecom network commands from a first user of the plurality of users of the telecom network;
- identify a first set of user groups from the plurality of user groups which comprises the first user;
- identify a first set of task sets from the plurality of task sets wherein each task set of the first set of task sets is associated with at least one user group of first set of user groups;
- and
- allow the first user access to the first telecom network command if the first set of task sets comprises the first telecom network command.
