Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide a method and system for providing a hybrid meta-directory for recording a grant of privileges. In one embodiment method and system aspects of the exemplary embodiment include: assigning a privilege identifier to each privilege stored in a privilege repository; in response to a granting of one of the privileges to a target user, storing the privilege identifier assigned to the granted privilege in an authoritative source domain record for the target user; and in response to receiving a query of the authoritative source domain based on a user ID, retrieving a list of privileges granted to the corresponding target user based on the privilege identifiers associated with the user ID.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide a method and system for self-service resource provisioning having collaborative compliance enforcement. Method and system aspects of the exemplary embodiments include displaying a hierarchical list of resources for selection of at least one privilege associated with the resources; in response to a user selecting least one of the privileges from the hierarchical list, adding the selected privilege to a request cart to enable the user to initiate a request for the privilege; and in response to a user submitting the request cart, automatically invoking a workflow process to approve a request for the privilege, wherein the workflow is dynamically generated at least in part from the structure of the hierarchical list of resources and a location of the privilege within the hierarchical list.
