Emerging cloud computing has introduced new platforms for developing enterprise academic web applications, where software, platforms and infrastructures are published to the globe as services. Software developers can build their systems by multiple invocations of these services. This research is devoted to investigating the management and data flow control over enterprise academic web applications where web services and developed academic web application are constructing infrastructure-networking scheme at the application level. Academic web services are invoked over http port and using REST based protocol; thus traditional access control method is not enough to control the follow of data using host and port information. The new cloud based access control rules proposed here are to be designed and implemented to work at this level. The new proposed access control architecture will be a web service gateway, and it published itself as a service (SaaS). We used three case studies to test our moodle and then we apply JSON parsers to perceive web service description file (WSDL file) and supply policies according to data are to be allowed or denied based on user roll through our parsing.
