Authorization

In Microsoft Provisioning Framework (MPF), authorization verifies that the caller for a provisioning request is allowed to execute the actions in the request. Authorization occurs at three points in the processing cycle: when requests are submitted from the client to the provisioning engine or queue manager, during calls from the provisioning engine to namespaces and procedures, and during calls from MPF to providers of external services.

This section covers:

• Authorization during request submittal
• Authorization during calls to namespaces and procedures
• Authorization during calls to external services
