4. The Gullotta reference gives a number of examples of the kinds of
“soft resources” that may be provisioned to users. That list includes:
“e-mail and voice mail accounts, application programs, databases,
files, folders, the Internet, Web pages, organizational Intranets,
messages to third parties, digital certificates for enabling the user to
access encrypted resources, the capability to order products over the
Internet, the ability to order a corporate credit card, access to financial
services providers, and the like. .” We find that many of these soft
resources are embodied as documents, and more particularly as
documents related to the user’s role in the organization needed for
compliance with the policies of the organization.
