Abstract: Some embodiments control access by applications to resources in a computing environment. An embodiment notes a request from an application to access a resource, determines a compliance status of the application based on access control policy compliance criteria, ascertains an authorization status of the request based on an authorization credential of the request and an authorization requirement of the resource, and responds to the request based on the compliance status and also based on the authorization status, thereby providing fine-grained access control. Access may also be controlled based on a request's beneficiary. An access request response may allow access, deny access, or ask for additional authorization. A compliance classifier reduces risk by dynamically updating compliance status after compliance criteria changes or attribute changes. An identity service access control architecture uses a compliance attribute to improve efficiency.

Abstract: Tenant approval for operator access to tenant data is provided. In order to grant service personnel operators access to a tenant's data for performing a requested action, a lockbox determines a security group role to which an operator needs to be elevated to perform a requested action, computes a set of internal administrators and tenant administrators authorized to grant a temporary role elevation, and sends an access control request to the administrators. Upon receiving approval of the access control request from an internal administrator and a tenant administrator, the lockbox elevates the operator to the security group role, granting the operator a set of permissions needed in order to allow the operator to perform the requested action. Accordingly, tenants are enabled to control access to their data and scrutinize access requests per their company procedures and compliance needs.
