The latest version of the Access Control Policy Tool (ACPT) from NIST is now available for download.

This version includes capabilities for assigning resource attribute inheritances and reviewing assigned privileges. It also fixes some bugs identified in the previous release.

We are improving ACPT and are looking for feedback on this version. A more complete version will be available in the future. See the Access Control Policy Testing project and the ACPT Beta Release page for additional details.
