Dynamically changing access rules for context-sensitive access control

摘要

A system, method and computer program product obtains user data relating to a plurality of system users, who have previously been granted access to a resource in a context without complying with a ruleset defining criteria for automatically accessing the resource in the context. A combination of two or more user data properties having common values in user data of a subset of two or more of the plurality of system users is identified. A determination of whether the number of system users in the subset exceeds a predetermined threshold is made. If the number of system users in the subset exceeds the predetermined threshold, the ruleset is updated to include criteria based on the identified combination of two or more user data properties.
