Abstract: Access control for shared computing resources in a hierarchical system is provided herein. An as-needed, “lazy evaluation” approach to access control is described in which an effective access control list for a computing resource is determined after a request is received from a user to access the resource. When resources are shared, access control policies are created and stored in association with the shared resource but are not stored in association with hierarchically related lower-level resources. When an access request for a resource is received, access control policies are collected for levels of a computing resource hierarchy that are higher than the hierarchy level of the resource. An effective access control list is determined based on permissions specified in the collected access control policies. The effective access control list represents an effective propagation of access control policies of higher hierarchy levels to the computing resource.
