The detection and resolution of constraint conflicts in RBAC have been overlooked and remain a significant research challenge. To address these concerns, in this paper, we classify constraint conflicts into two categories: internal constraint conflicts that occur when two or more constraints are deemed incompatible with each other and external constraint conflicts that occur when the configurat...
