The invention relates to the field of communications, and provides a method and apparatus for resource access in machine communication. The method for resource access in the machine communication comprises the steps of receiving an access request of an accessed resource from a requester resource, the access request including an identifier of the accessed resource, an identifier of the requester resource and a request operation of the assessed resource; determining the accessed request according to the identifier of the accessed resource; acquiring an access control strategy resource of the accessed resource; determining the requester resource as a group member of group resources corresponding to identifiers of the group resources having the operation authorization of the request operation in the access control strategy resource; and performing the request operation of the accessed resource. The invention achieves group-based access control of resources by determining whether the requester resource is the group member of the group resources having the operation authorization.
