Abstract
Designing fine-grained authorization reminds me of a story of a renowned bank manager who was very disturbed by a robbery attempt made on his safe deposit vault. The bank manager was so perturbed that he immediately implemented multiple layers of security and passwords for the vault. The next day, a customer request required that he open the vault. The manager, in all his excitement, forgot the combination, and the vault had to be forced open (legally, of course).
