Setting task permissions for software services in distributed computing environments

A method comprising:

• determining, by a processor, software services that are included in software products deployable to a user account of a distributed computing environment, wherein the software services are executable software programs that support the software products;
• determining, by the processor, task permissions to be set in the user account for allowing the software services to execute tasks in the distributed computing environment, wherein the task permissions include a first set of task permissions associated with implementing a particular software service as part of a first software product among the software products, and wherein the task permissions include a second set of task permissions associated with implementing the particular software service as part of a second software product among the software products;
• generating, by the processor, a list of task permissions by consolidating the task permissions based on predefined rules, wherein generating the list of task permissions involves:
• generating a consolidated set of task permissions for the particular software service by merging the first set of task permissions with the second set of task permissions;
• incorporating the consolidated set of task permissions into the list of task permissions;
• and
• transmitting, by the processor, an output indicating the list of task permissions for causing the user account to be configured in accordance with the list of task permissions, to permit the software services to execute the tasks in the distributed computing environment.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program code that is executable by a processor for causing the processor to:

• determine that a particular software service is included in first and second software products deployable to a user account of a distributed computing environment, wherein the particular software service is an executable software program that supports the first and second software products;
• determine first and second task permissions to be set in the user account for allowing the particular software service to execute tasks in the distributed computing environment;
• generate a list of task permissions by consolidating the first and second task permissions for the particular software service based on predefined rules;
• and
• transmit an output indicating the list of task permissions for causing the user account to be configured in accordance with the list of task permissions, to permit the particular software service to execute the tasks in the distributed computing environment.
