  • Patent number: 9519530
    Abstract: A mechanism for detecting conflicting operations and providing resolutions in a tasking system is disclosed. A method includes receiving, by a processing device in a tasking system, a request for a call including at least one operation to be executed on at least one resource of a plurality of resources that are managed by the tasking system. The method also includes detecting an occurrence of a conflict between the at least one operation on the call request and queued operations associated with the plurality of resources. The method also includes generating at least one of a task or an error report for the at least one operation in the call request based on the conflict. The method further includes identifying task dependencies associated with the at least one task and executing the at least one task only after execution of the task dependencies.

  • Patent number: 9344430
    Abstract: A first request to change a permission of a first user for accessing a first resource is received via a service application programming interface (API) of an authorization server. In response to the first request, a first resource-based permission data structure associated with the first resource is accessed to identify an entry associated with the first user, wherein the first resource-based permission data structure has a plurality of entries corresponding to a plurality of users, respectively, each user being associated with one or more permissions for accessing the first resource. Further, one or more permissions in the identified entry associated with the first user are updated.
