Abstract: An illustrative method includes accessing, by a data platform configured to monitor a compute environment, permissions data representative of a set of permissions that specify how an entity is entitled to interact with resources within the compute environment; collecting, by the data platform, runtime workload data representative of an actual interaction by the entity with the resources over a period of time; and performing, by the data platform based on the runtime workload data, an operation associated with modifying the set of permissions for the entity.

Abstract: An illustrative method includes tracking, by a data platform configured to monitor a compute environment, a plurality of identity transitions that occur over time with respect to an entity, wherein each of the identity transitions includes a transition by the entity from being associated with one identity to being associated with another identity, the one identity and the another identity having different permission sets with respect to resources within the compute environment; determining, by the data platform while performing the tracking, that an attribute of the plurality of identity transitions satisfies a predetermined criterion; and performing, by the data platform based on the attribute of the plurality of transitions satisfying the predetermined criterion, a remedial action associated with the entity.
