Introduction

The eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) [XACML-3] defines an architecture and a language for access control (authorization). The language consists of requests, responses, and policies. Clients send a request to a server to query whether a given action should be allowed. The server evaluates the request against the available policies and returns a response. The policies implement the organization's access control requirements.https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7061
