In most access control systems, authorization is specified using binary dec
isions, "yes" or "no," to the access requests resulting in access being per
mitted or denied respectively. We argue that emerging Internet applications
require that this binary decision be extended to "allow access provided so
me actions are taken." We propose the notion of provisional actions that sp
ecifies the necessary actions to be performed in addition to the binary dec
ision and introduce an access control model for it. We also provide an admi
nistrative model for policy management purpose.
