Patent number: 9219738Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for managing electronic access from remote devices to a plurality of computer platforms. The system includes a processor, a network interface, and a memory. The network interface is configured to receive a user identity provided by a device remote to the system and an access request from the device to access a selected computer platform from the plurality of computerized platforms. The memory stores computer executable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the system to determine a set of access rights for the device based on the user identity and a role associated with the user identity, as related to the selected computerized platform. The computer executable instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the system to allow the user to access the selected platforms according to the access request only if the access requested is included in the determined set of access rights.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2014Date of Patent: December 22, 2015Assignee: HARTFORD FIRE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Mark S.
