<div>Hello,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We are a software development group who build custom webapps and apis used by both internal users and external clients and vendors. We are doing a build vs buy analysis, and I am finding it challenging to see how we would leverage Shibboleth to solve
one of our key usage needs. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Not only do we want to manage access to various applications, as well as features within applications, but also to business entities within our applications. For example:</div>
<div>We have an account management application that includes a contract terms feature. Within the contract terms, one can do many things, including change the client budget. While we want everyone on the account management team to be able to see the budget
data, there are only certain people we entrust to modify an account budget; we’ll call those people “Budget Managers”. Further, each Budget Manager can only modify budgets for the subset of accounts for which they are responsible.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Has anyone used Shibboleth to solve a use case similar to this one? If so, can you give me an overview of how it has been solved? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Joe</div>
