Abstract
A system and method for creating switchable desktops each with its own authorization. The system provides a custom authentication and authorization data store that defines permission sets called roles, and lists which roles each user may assume. The system also provides a custom virtual desktop manager that creates new virtual desktops using the permissions defined by the roles. When a user requests a new virtual desktop and role from the desktop manager, the manager requests new virtual desktop components from the operating system. The desktop manager intercepts a request by the operating system to the Local Security Authority module for permissions to grant the new virtual desktop. The manager substitutes the user's requested role permissions for the permissions granted by the LSA module. The LSA module and operating system grant those role permissions in a newly created virtual desktop.
