Abstract
A method and system for generating access policy suggestions are described. The system initiates a test mode for a web service to be access by a user. The system authorizes access to the web service by the user in the test mode and records test data regarding the access to the web service by the user in the test mode. The system generates an access policy suggestion based on the test data.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a first request to initiate a test mode for access to web services, wherein the first request comprises user credentials of a test user;
- notifying the web services of the test mode;
- receiving a second request from a first web service for authorization to i) perform an action or ii) access a resource for the test user in the test mode;
- authorizing the second request;
- sending a third request, comprising a test mode flag, to the first web service to indicate successful authorization of the second request, wherein the test mode flag indicates to the first web service to return test data corresponding to performing the action or accessing the resource;
- receiving and recording the test data from the first web service;
- and
- analyzing the test data to generate an access policy suggestion based on the test data.
A method comprising:
- initiating a test mode for a web service to be accessed by a user;
- authorizing access to the web service by the user in the test mode using test user credentials associated with the user;
- sending a first request, comprising a test mode flag, to the web service to indicate successful authorization, wherein the test mode flag indicates to the web service to return test data corresponding to the access;
- receiving and recording the test data from the web service;
- and
- generating an access policy suggestion based on the test data.
One or more non-transitory machine-readable mediums having stored thereon one or more instructions, which if performed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to at least:
- initiate a test mode for a web service to be accessed by a user;
- authorize access to the web service by the user in the test mode using test user credentials associated with the user;
- send a first request, comprising a test mode flag, to the web service to indicate successful authorization, wherein the test mode flag indicates to the web service to return test data corresponding to the access;
- receive and record the test data from the web service;
- and
- generate an access policy suggestion based on the test data.
