Attribute Based Access Control

Does AEM support Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC)? I was not able to find reference to it in the AEM documentation but I have found what looks like an Adobe whitepaper on Carahsoft's site that states that AEM does support ABAC here:

http://www.carahsoft.com/application/files/9514/6308/6201/Adobe_data_centric_security_WP.pdf 

Is anyone else able to point me to the right location as to where this feature is part of AEM or how it works?

Hi,

It's not available. If you suits your needs, you could implement a custom Oak Restriction Provider, see [1] for details and an example implementation.

Hi,

I think Attribute Based Access Control is the new feature in AEM and not implemented yet. It might be release in future AEM versions.
However, We will check with internal Adobe community members regarding any documentation of the same.
