Abstract: Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for multi-stage approval. Approval scenarios are defined that include four stages including a requestor review stage, a requestor management approval stage, an owner approval stage, and a processing stage. A custom proponent code authority is generated for each principal or collection of principals to manage access and roles under their jurisdiction. The custom proponent code authority is generated for each approval scenario through a centralized identity and access management system. A requester review is performed on a request received from a requestor. The requester review is performed using a decentralized approval process. A requestor management approval of the request is performed in the requestor management approval stage. An owner approval is performed in the owner approval stage by an owner associated with owner role names mapped to role suffixes. The owner approval authorizes further processing or access to at least one resource.

Abstract: A method of actions and permissions ownership (APO) for managing applications of an enterprise is provided. The method includes: receiving a request from an owner of a role to modify an action or permission of the role or to add the action or permission to the role. The action or permission controls access to a corresponding one of the applications. In response to receiving such a request, the method includes looking up an owner of the corresponding application in a non-transitory electronic APO database, requesting an approval from the corresponding application owner to modify or add the action or permission, receiving the approval to modify or add the action or permission, and, in response to receiving the approval, updating a non-transitory electronic role database to modify the action or permission of the role or to add the action or permission to the role.
