The present invention discloses a method, computer program product and
system for adjusting roles in a computer system (100) that launch
application services (301-307) by a first user who is assigned to at
least one role. A first role (110) calls a second role (150) by reference
(111). Both roles comprise representations of applications services (101,
102, 103) and (104, 105). When representations in the second role are
modified, for example, application services are added (106, 107), a delta
list (112) for the first reference is automatically created to
conditionally prevent the first role (110) from referencing to at least
some of the modified representations of the second role (150). This is
achieved by using a rule database (118) containing rules about
application services that are mutually exclusive and checking for
conflicts between the representations of the first role and modified,
second role. A second user, e.g. a system administrator, can accept or
reject automatically created delta entries (114) in the delta list (112).
