Lyrics
- Come take my hand, we’re in the zone,
- Access rules decide what’s known.
- Two big paths to start the show:
- Discretionary, or no.
- If users choose who gets to play,
- That’s DAC — they give the keys away.
- But if the system’s in control,
- Non-DAC has a tighter role.
- Dack’s the freestyle, light and loose,
- The owner’s rules let rights diffuse.
- Share a file? Just click allow.
- But that trust can cause a roe.
- Mack’s the strict one, all assigned,
- Labels, clearance, all aligned.
- No — not your network card, dear friend —
- This Mack controls how secrets end.
- Set by policy, firm and flat,
- Users don’t get say in that.
- Are-back is steady, firm and clear,
- You get your rights from roles held near.
- Assigned by job, not chosen wild,
- It’s how a business keeps things styled.
- You don’t decide — the role knows best,
- It limits scope and handles the rest.
- Rule-based? Risk-based? Still the same,
- They’re all role types in the game.
- Just remember: roles decide,
- Not your mood or ego’s pride.
- A-back checks the broader view —
- Your traits and context pull you through.
- It asks who, where, when, and why,
- Before it lets your packet fly.
- It’s complex, smart, and full of range,
- But hard to build or quickly change.
- Dack gives power, but little guard,
- Mack’s secure, but workin’s hard.
- Are-back runs the classic play,
- A-back thinks a modern way.
- If you recall just one refrain —
- Access rules protect the brain!
- So pick your model, learn it well,
- From classic DAC to ABAC shell.
- No one method rules them all,
- But now you’ve danced through access control!
- Bonus Tip:
- Every model starts with DAC or not,
- Non-DAC holds the structured lot.
- Mack, Are-back, A-back too —
- They fall in line once DAC is through!
