SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ACCESS MANAGEMENT FOR APPLICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18221458 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ACCESS MANAGEMENT FOR APPLICATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system and method for managing access to applications in a cloud computing environment.

  • The system scans the actions performed by an application code on resources in the cloud computing environment.
  • It identifies the existing set of permissions for these resources.
  • Based on the actions performed, it identifies the permissions accessed by the application code.
  • A new set of permissions is generated by combining the existing set and the accessed permissions.
  • The new set of permissions is stored in a database for later retrieval.
  • When the application code is executed in a production environment, the new set of permissions is applied to the resources.

A system and method for access management for applications is disclosed. The system and method includes at least: initializing, at execution time of an application code, a scan of actions performed by the application code on resources of a cloud computing environment; identifying an existing set of permissions for the resources; identifying one or more accessed permissions by the application code based on the actions performed by the application code on the resources; generating a new set of permissions for accessing the resources based on the identifying the existing set of permissions and the one or more accessed permissions; transmitting the new set of permissions to a database for storage and later retrieval; and applying the new set of permissions to the resources when the application code is executed in a production environment.
