Akseset

Akseset is a term that appears in some information security and data governance contexts to denote a predefined set of access permissions assigned to a user or group for one or more resources. It is not a standard term in major security frameworks, but it is used in certain vendor documentation and academic discussions to describe bundled permissions.

Definition and scope

An akseset typically comprises a collection of privileges such as read, write, delete, or execute, mapped to specific resources or resource categories. As a unit, it can be assigned to principals (users, groups, or services) and can be used to streamline permission management, auditing, and compliance. In this sense, an akseset functions similarly to a role in role-based access control (RBAC) or to a permission bundle in identity and access management (IAM) systems.

Etymology and usage

The term combines Indonesian roots, with access meaning "akses" and the suffix "-et" implying a small or specific set. Because it is not part of a formal standard, its use is more common in Indonesian-language writings, vendor guides, or niche security discussions rather than in universal security catalogs.

Practical use

In implementation, an akseset is stored as metadata within an IAM or access control system. It can be versioned, restricted by context, or given expiration, and is designed to simplify the assignment and auditing of permissions by treating a bundle as a single unit.
