Work plan based control of physical and virtual access

A computer usable program product comprising a computer readable storage medium including computer usable code for work plan based access control, the computer usable code when executed by a processor causing operations comprising:

• determining, at an application executing using a processor and a memory, for a portion of the work plan, a physical space, wherein access to the physical space is used in a task in the portion;
• initiating at least one workflow, the at least one workflow operating to determine whether to grant the access to the physical space;
• configuring, responsive to the workflow granting the access to the physical space, the access to the physical space and a first plurality of virtual resources for a first duration for a first user performing the task;
• revoking, responsive to an indication of closing of the portion, the access to the physical space for the first duration for the first user performing the task;
• initiating, corresponding to a second portion of the work plan, a second workflow, the second workflow operating to determine whether to grant access to a second physical space for a second duration, the second physical space comprising a route between the first physical space and a third physical space;
• configuring, responsive to the second workflow granting access to the second physical space, access to the second physical space for a second duration for the first user performing the task, the configuring maintaining access to a virtual resource in the first plurality of virtual resources, the virtual resource included in a second plurality of virtual resources;
• revoking, responsive to an indication of exiting the second physical space, the access to the second physical space for the second duration for the first user performing the task;
• and
• configuring, responsive to the second workflow granting access to the third physical space, access to the third physical space and the second plurality of virtual resources for a third duration for the first user performing the task.

A data processing system for work plan based access control, the data processing system comprising:

• a storage device including a storage medium, wherein the storage device stores computer usable program code;
• and
• a processor, wherein the processor executes the computer usable program code causing operations comprising:
• determining, at an application executing using a processor and a memory, for a portion of the work plan, a physical space, wherein access to the physical space is used in a task in the portion;
• initiating at least one workflow, the at least one workflow operating to determine whether to grant the access to the physical space;
• configuring, responsive to the workflow granting the access to the physical space, the access to the physical space and a first plurality of virtual resources for a first duration for a first user performing the task;
• revoking, responsive to an indication of closing of the portion, the access to the physical space for the first duration for the first user performing the task;
• initiating, corresponding to a second portion of the work plan, a second workflow, the second workflow operating to determine whether to grant access to a second physical space for a second duration, the second physical space comprising a route between the first physical space and a third physical space;
• configuring, responsive to the second workflow granting access to the second physical space, access to the second physical space for a second duration for the first user performing the task, the configuring maintaining access to a virtual resource in the first plurality of virtual resources, the virtual resource included in a second plurality of virtual resources;
• revoking, responsive to an indication of exiting the second physical space, the access to the second physical space for the second duration for the first user performing the task;
• and
• configuring, responsive to the second workflow granting access to the third physical space, access to the third physical space and the second plurality of virtual resources for a third duration for the first user performing the task.
