Access Road is a universal simulator of access controls, to improve the design of systems in the IT security domain. Two out-of-the-box simulations are provided: Linux Ubuntu access controls, and a Role-Based-Access-Control-model application. By design, this beta-state free software may be customized to simulate varied real software: their structure, their behavior, their objects, and their rights. The GUI is very versatile, to allow both simple and complex simulations and checkings (like the compliance with some security rules). Detailed texts and powerful diagrams are generated for each simulation.
