Claim 9:
10. The method of claim 8, wherein comparing the attributes of the access requests against at least a subset of the access control policies comprises:
comparing a first attribute of a first access request against a first access control policy that specifies a first criterion that is to be satisfied as a prerequisite to granting access to a first resource; and
comparing a second attribute of a second access request against a second access control policy that specifies a second criterion that is to be satisfied as a prerequisite to granting access to a second resource;
wherein generating the metadata comprises:
generating the metadata, including first metadata, which indicate whether the first attribute of the first access request satisfies the first criterion, and second metadata, which indicate whether the second attribute of the second access request satisfies the second criterion; and

wherein the simulating further comprises:
causing a comparison of a first representation of a first result of enforcement of the first access control policy and a second representation of a second result of enforcement of the second access control policy to be displayed via a user interface, the first representation of the first result of enforcement of the first access control policy indicating an extent to which the first attribute of the first access request satisfies the first criterion based at least in part on the first metadata, the second representation of the second result of enforcement of the second access control policy indicating an extent to which the second attribute of the second access request satisfies the second criterion based at least in part on the second metadata.
