Abstract: Access privileges of at least one identity to resources are adjusted within an authorization system of a computing environment. Over a detection period, accesses by the identity to the resources are detected and a usage score is computed as a usage function of a measure of use by the identity of access privilege(s) it has been granted to at least one of the resources relative to a measure of a set of possible grantable privileges. In accordance with a least privilege security policy, and according to the usage score, the set of access privileges granted to the identity may then be adjusted.

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage mediums described herein are configured to automatically detect inadvertent, unauthorized account access. For example, a user account may be analyzed to identify roles thereof that permit identities of other accounts to assume the roles of the user account. The analysis is performed for each identified account, including any accounts having roles that permit identities of further accounts to assume the roles of the identified accounts. Accordingly, a chain of roles may be determined that indicates how one account may have access to another account via one or more intervening role assignments. This circuitous path of account access may be represented and displayed to a user, e.g., via a tree structure. Upon identifying an unauthorized account, an appropriate action may be performed to adjust permissions.
