The Demystified Series is pleased to present a collection of screencasts on Windows Authorization Manager (AzMan). Keith Brown, a contributing editor for MSDN Magazine and co-founder of PluralSight, states that this series provides, “…what may be your first look at Authorization Manager – a hidden gem in Windows that can help you build Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) into your applications.” I trust you will discover this statement to be true for yourself as well.
In this “Getting Started with AzMan” session, Keith highlights the difference between Discretionary Access Control and Role-Based Access Control. He then touches on the benefits of “externalizing” your authorization policy where it can be managed by an administrator rather than hard-coding it into your application. And finishes out the session by demonstrating the AzMan GUI, describing the concepts of AzMan Roles, Tasks and Operations and showing a Windows PowerShell Cmdlet that manipulates the AzMan policy via its API.
Enjoy!

Great, I found them very useful and thanks for that. Can I download the videos of these screencasts for rest of my team because of bandwidth issues?
Could you provide a download link? The video is not working!!
I worked around the problem by selecting the Media Downloads link... but that is VERY non-obvious. I sent e-mail to the channel 9 folks to fix this ;-(
Hey there,
Yes, our embedded Silverlight player is not compatible with some of these videos that were encoded a coupleo of years ago.
You can play the video at http://mschnlnine.vo.llnwd.net/d1/ch9/1/4/9/2/5/2/289062_AzMan_getting_started.wmv
Thanks!
