Abstract: An access control system for enabling access of an attendant to a customer account on a cloud application hosted on a cloud computing system includes a vision sensor coupled with the cloud computing system. The cloud computing system stores customer accounts, an access factorization rule, location-based endpoints, and a supervisor identifier. The system determines that the customer and attendant are at a first endpoint and determines a particular interaction between the attendant and the customer, then factorizes an access indicator and either permits access or denies access of the attendant to the customer account, and may form and send a message comprising a denial of access semantic to the supervisor.
