Access control management
First Claim
1. A method of managing operations that may be performed in a cartridge library, comprising:
- recording, in a memory medium coupled to the cartridge library, access control parameters including a first access control parameter to identify a particular time period during which a resource of the cartridge library can be accessed, and a second access control parameter to identify one of a user, a server, or a command;
receiving, in an interface controller coupled to the cartridge library, a request to access a storage cartridge of the cartridge library; and
implementing an access control routine in the interface controller, wherein the access control routine accesses the first and second access control parameters to limit, in response to the request, a user'"'"'s ability to perform at least one command on the resource of the cartridge library during the particular time period identified by the first access control parameter.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a cartridge library, comprises a management component comprising a first processor module and a memory medium communicatively connected to the first processor module, an interface controller comprising a second processor module and a memory medium communicatively connected to the second processor module, wherein the interface controller comprises logic instructions stored on a computer readable medium which, when executed, cause the second processor module to, record, in a memory medium coupled to the cartridge library, at least one access control parameter, wherein the access control parameter identifies at least one of a user, a server, a command, or a time, receive, in an interface controller coupled to the cartridge library, a request for at least one resource of the cartridge library, and implement an access control routine in the interface controller to use the access control parameter to determine whether to limit a user'"'"'s ability to perform at least one command on at least one resource of the cartridge library during at least one time period.

9. A cartridge library, comprising:
-
a management component comprising a first processor module and a computer readable medium communicatively connected to the first processor module; an interface controller comprising a second processor module and a computer readable medium communicatively connected to the second processor module, wherein the interface controller comprises logic instructions stored on the computer readable medium of the interface controller which, when executed, cause the second processor module to; record, in a memory medium coupled to the cartridge library, access control parameters including a first access control parameter to identify a particular time period during which a resource of the cartridge library can be accessed, and a second access control parameter to identify one of a user, a server, or a command; receive a request to access a storage cartridge of the cartridge library; and implement an access control routine configured to use the first and second access control parameters to, in response to the request, determine whether to limit a user'"'"'s ability to perform at least one command on the resource of the cartridge library during the particular time period identified by the first access control parameter. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer program product comprising logic instructions stored on a computer readable medium which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to manage access requests in a cartridge library by performing operations, comprising:
-
recording, in a memory medium coupled to the cartridge library, access control parameters including a first access control parameter to identify a particular time period during which a resource of the cartridge library can be accessed, and a second access control parameter to identify one of a user, a server, or a command; receiving, in an interface controller coupled to the cartridge library, a request to access a storage cartridge of the cartridge library; and implementing an access control routine in the interface controller, wherein the access control routine accesses the first and second access control parameters to limit, in response to the request, a user'"'"'s ability to perform at least one command on the resource of the cartridge library during the particular time period identified by the first access control parameter. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
