*3.6. Profile-Based Access Restriction*

The cloud platform is comprised of different users and has to be restricted to minimize access by different users. For example, the internal user needs to view the readings of various users and needs to

generate reports on them, and so on. The internal users must be able to access the data more frequently, whereas the external users do not. The external user needs one-time access or access for a short time to pay the bills so that the proposed work restricts the access based on the roles. It provides role-based access restriction to o ffer more security to the cloud platform and thus, outsiders cannot make flooding attacks on the proposed system.
