A method and system for managing security information for a domain of computer systems is provided. The security system displays security information for a selected security object, such as a user or a computer system. The security system initially retrieves security information that includes security specifications that each has the identification of an entity, a resource, and an access right for the selected security object. The security system then displays an identification of the entity and the resource along with the access right for each security specification. When the security information is stored in a security store (i.e., the main security store) by resource and, for each resource, the entities that have access rights to that resource, the security system may use an auxiliary security store to facilitate the retrieval of the security information.
