I'm not sure I understand your question.  Are you asking what the code
looks like?  That usually depends on what kind of tools are built in
to your deployment platform.  For example, for J2EE apps role-based
security is normal.

This is a good idea, if not for implementation, at least for planning.
 If you can't document it for other human beings, you probably can't
implement the policy in a computer.
