Thank you for your help. I have been discussing the issues with this kind of setup with the project group and the conclusion is to simply the AA-service by only requiring the subject and to have it return an attribute containing the objects it can interact with. Some of those values will contain extra information if the interaction needs to be approved by another specific subject. The query can now also be handled directly without moving up one layer from SAML to the application.
