47. One or more processor readable storage devices having processor readable code embodied on said processor readable storage devices, said processor readable code for programming one or more processors to perform a method comprising the steps of: providing for creation of a first access rule for one or more resources; storing said first access rule at an access server; receiving and storing a set of one or more query variables to be associated with said first access rule; and receiving and storing one or more values for said one or more query variables, said one or more values uniquely identify said first access rule from a plurality of access rules; and determining whether access to said one or more resources is authorized based on said identification of said one or more resources without granting authorization to said one or more resources, said determining including accessing said first access rule for said one or more resources and accessing an identity profile for a first user to determine whether at least a portion of said first access rule is satisfied based on information in said identity profile, wherein said first access rule is not part of said identity profile.
