Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing access to computing environments based on a multi-environment policy are provided. The a multi-environment policy is configurable to define rules that have provider-controlled and customer-controlled computing environment parameters for approving access to provider-controlled computing environments and customer-controlled computing environments. In operation, a request associated a computing environment are received. The computing environment is associated with a multi-environment policy. The multi-environment policy is configurable to define the rules based on access vectors having grouped computing environment aspects for control and visibility associated with accessing computing environments. Based on the request, a determination whether the request is for a provider-controlled or a customer-controlled computing environment is made.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing escorted-access management based on an escort-admin session engine are provided. The escort-admin session engine approves an external administrator's access to a resource instance based on a service team policy, while approving an escort operator to escort the external administrator in an escort-admin session that provides access to the resource. In operation, an external administrator's request for access to a resource is evaluated based on the service team policy that is managed by a service team. The request is approved with access rights to the resource identified in the policy. An escort operator is identified for the external administrator. The escort operator is approved to escort the external administrator for access to the resource during an escort-admin session. The escort-admin session includes an escort operator context referring to the escort operator having access rights based on the access rights approved using the policy.
