  • Patent number: 8606817
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide for a centralized system for database access management. In specific embodiments, the centralized system provides for granting users temporal access to databases for a prescribed period of time, such that upon expiration of the time period the user is automatically blocked (i.e., added back to the blacklist) from accessing the database. Moreover, as a result of centralized management, reporting and auditing of actions related to database access management are greatly improved in that all actions are recorded and a historical database of such actions is available to system users. In addition, the centralized system provides for automatic notification to predetermined stakeholders based on occurrence of predetermined system actions, such as blocking a user from database access, unblocking a user from database access (i.e., granting access) or the like.
