  • Publication number: 20140181913
    Abstract: Systems and methods of verifying separation-of-duties (SoD) for requested access rights to physical computing resources are provided. An SoD verifier may receive and access request and obtain a set of current permissions associated with a requestee specified in the access request. The SoD verifier may also obtain a set of new permissions to provision for the requestee based on the access request. The SoD verifier may determine whether one of the current permissions is incompatible with one of the new permissions. The SoD verifier may provide an indication of whether the access request represents an SoD violation.
