Abstract: Techniques associated with adaptive privilege adjustment are disclosed. A least privilege access role for an entity can be received from an access control system that provides the entity a plurality of privileges to access a plurality of resources in a data center. Access by the entity to one or more resources of the data center can be monitored, and based on the access by the entity, it can be determined that the entity does not access at least one resource of the plurality of resources. The least privilege access role can be updated subsequently for the entity to remove at least one privilege of the plurality of privileges for accessing the at least one resource. The least privilege access role for the entity can be applied to the access control system to remove access to the at least one resource for the entity.
