What does the .NET Access Control Service provide?
The .NET Access Control Service provides authorization capabilities as a hosted offering relieving developers from having to build access control into their applications, something particularly problematic when applications extend beyond traditional organizational boundaries to integrate with external services. In addition, the service’s federation capabilities ensure that user identities from many different organizations are supported. The Access Control Service is based on powerful, secure and standards based infrastructure and can be used on its own it but also supports other services such as the Service Bus.
