Abstract
To balance a tendency towards faceless decisions in using role based access control, photographic likenesses of people in roles can be used in access control user interface. For a meaningful representation of different people being in a role at a different times, a near future time chart of people who are predicted to be in roles to access a document or a resource can be displayed next to document contents and resource representations.
