Access control based restriction



What is Access Control?



Access Control is a security measure taken to secure cloud applications. Access control sets restrictions according to the roles assigned to the users. Role-based access control is used to set permissions according to the user roles and permissions assigned. Proxy servers can be used to prevent a group of unauthorized people from accessing particular websites. You can restrict priority access to only authorized users or give non-compliant visitor users partial access. Your resources can only be accessed by users who have logged in using your Identity Providers or Federated Identities.



How does Access Control work?





The most typical scenario for Access Control is when the user is trying to protect PDF files from downloading. With the help of a reverse proxy, any unauthorized user will not even be able to read the contents of your PDF. Here’s how a reverse proxy works in protecting your PDF file contents:

    1. User visits the site via the reverse proxy

    2. User clicks on a PDF file to either download or views the content

    3. Users will be redirected to a Login page where they’ll be prompted to enter their credentials. If the user is already logged in then reverse proxy will display one of the 3 outcomes mentioned below

    4. These credentials will be sent back to the reverse proxy and then the website will display one of the 3 outcomes:

      a. A custom error message set by the admin on a new page

      b. An error 403 “Forbidden Page” will be displayed

      c. If the user is authorized, PDF can be read and/or downloaded

    Based on user roles, role-based access control (RBAC) can be set on the files, so that the user can just read the PDF or download it as well.
