Abstract: To protect the security of IT systems of companies and organizations, Role Based Access Control is a widely used concept. The corresponding optimization problem, the Role Mining Problem, which consists of finding an optimum set of roles based on a given assignment of permissions to users was shown to be NP-complete and evolutionary algorithms have demonstrated to be a promising solution strategy. It is usually assumed that the assignment of permissions to users, used for role mining, reflects exactly the permissions needed by a user to perform the given tasks. However, considering enterprise resource planning systems (ERP) in real-world use cases, permission-to-user assignments are often outdated or, if at all, only partially available. In contrast, trace data, which records the behavior of users in ERP systems, is easily available. This paper describes and analyzes the different data types and sources provided by ERP systems. Furthermore, it is examined, if this data is suitable to create an initial permission-to-user assignment or to enhance the quality of a yet existing one. For this purpose, different trace-data-based methods are introduced. In the context of an industry-related research project, ERP data of two different companies is analyzed and used to evaluate the presented methods. (More)
