Access control techniques should be flexible enough to support all protection granularity levels. Since access control policies are very likely to be specified in relation to document types, it is necessary to properly manage a situation in which documents fail to be dealt with by the existing access control policies. In terms of XML documents, it is necessary to describe policies more flexibly beyond simple authorization and to consider access control methods which can be selected. This paper describes and designs the access control policy system for authorization for XML document access and for efficient management to suggest a way to use the capacity of XML itself. The system in this paper is primarily characterized by consideration of who would exercise what access privileges on a specific XML document and by good adjustment of organization-wide demands from a policy manager and a single document writer.
