While security is often supported in standard management frameworks, it has been insufficiently approached in most deployment and research initiatives. In this paper we address the provisioning of a security ``continuum'' for management frameworks based on XML/SNMP gateways. We provide an in depth security extension of such a gateway using the Role Based Access Control paradigm and show how to integrate our approach within a broader XML-based management framework.
