Abstract
A method of dynamically assigning a role to a user in a distributed computing environment can comprise the steps of: defining one or more roles and their respective threshold trust values; defining one or more attributes and their respective weight coefficients; determining current values of the attributes for the user; calculating a current level of trust for the user, based on the attribute values and the weight coefficients; and assigning a role to the user based on the current level of trust and the threshold values.
