The Software Permission Path Explorer

 Build an interactive security analysis tool that maps how users, roles, permissions, resources, and application actions connect.

Let developers define roles, resource types, actions, inheritance rules, and authorization policies through a visual editor or JSON import.

Include:

  • A permission graph showing direct and inherited access.

  • A path explorer explaining why a role can perform a particular action.

  • A detector for conflicting allow and deny rules.

  • A comparison of effective permissions across roles.

  • Test-case generation for expected allowed and denied actions.

  • A least-privilege review queue.

  • A simulation showing the impact of adding or removing a permission.

  • A machine-readable policy test suite.

Use an explicit policy evaluation model and explain how conflicts are resolved. Distinguish confirmed access paths in the supplied configuration from potential issues caused by missing rules or application code. Never test against live systems or claim to prove the absence of vulnerabilities. Include a sample multi-role business application and automated policy tests.
