USER ABSTRACTED RBAC IN A MULTI TENANT ENVIRONMENT

摘要

Role based access control (RBAC) identity management tools, computing systems, computer products and methods of abstracting individual users from the role assignment and revalidation process of traditional RBAC. The RBAC tools, products and systems of the present disclosure organize and manage multi-tenanted networks and cloud computing environments by organizing individual users by service providers having a single or unified identity, which are separately managed by the service provider owners. The service provider identities are treated as a single service provider entity applying for one or more roles in the multi-tenant system, allowing for a simplified role revalidation that no longer requires managers of tenants in a multi-tenant network to approve the role assignment of each individual user, because the tenants and tenant managers are unaware of the users identities that make up the service provider identity.
