Authorisation
Services can implement authorisation policies based on external information or locally. For distributed infrastructures in particular, it is common for services to use an external policy engine to take authorisation decisions. The purpose for this configuration is to support centralised management of authorisation policies for security reasons, as well as to simplify configuration at service level.
