Abstract: A method is implemented by a controller executed on at least one processor. The method provides pre-authorized access to a robotic process automation for a resource associated with a job. The method includes causing, by the controller, the robotic process automation to assume a user identity during an authentication flow to enable access by the robotic process automation to a resource. The method includes issuing, by the controller, tokens to the robotic process automation during the authentication flow. The method includes enabling, by the controller via the tokens, the identity service that governs the resource to participate in operations of the controller to provide the pre-authorized access to the robotic process automation.

Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor that may access a request for access by an application to a resource and may record the request in a data store. The processor may also identify an authorized entity to evaluate the request and output a notification to the authorized entity to evaluate the request, in which the authorized entity is to evaluate the request asynchronously with submission of the request by the application. In addition, the processor may determine whether a response is received from the authorized entity and, based on a determination that the response is received, may reject or grant the request based on the response and clear the record of the request from the data store.
