  • Patent number: 10560484
    Abstract: Embodiments pertaining to managing access in one or more computing systems can include an operations controller in communication with the one or more computing systems for managing commercial transactions of the one or more computing systems and an access management controller in communication with the operations controller. The access management controller can receive an input that identifies relationships between user roles and actions associated with the one or more computing systems. The access management controller can provide the input to the operations controller for implementation of access rules in accordance with the relationships. The access management controller can attempt to access in the one or more computing systems at least a portion of the user roles and the actions after the operations controller has implemented the access rules. The access management controller can compare the attempted access with the relationships to determine access discrepancies.

  • Publication number: 20090199293
    Abstract: A method and system of managing user access in a computing system is provided. The system can include an operations controller in communication with the computing system for managing the commercial transactions of the computing system over the internet, and an access management controller in communication with the operations controller. The access management controller can receive an input comprising user roles and actions associated with the computing system. The access management controller can generate a matrix indicating a relationship between the user roles and the actions. The access management controller can provide the input to the operations controller for implementation of access rules in accordance with the relationship indicated in the matrix. The access management controller can attempt to access in the computing system at least a portion of the user roles and actions after the operations controller has implemented the access rules.
