Abstract
Techniques managing access rules are provided. Access rules and their associated profiles are determined for evaluation. A triggering rate or a triggering percentage can be used to indicate efficacy of the rule. Recommendations can be provided based on a triggering percentage difference of the rule during a predetermined period of time. The recommendations can be provided in an interactive user interface.
Claims20
A method for managing a plurality of access rules performed by a computer device comprising a processor and a memory, the method comprising:
- receiving a first access rule for a first profile from the plurality of access rules for evaluation;
- initializing a counter associated with the first access rule for the first profile, wherein the counter tracks a triggering of the first access rule for the first profile during a designated period of time;
- receiving a plurality of access requests during the designated period of time;
- incrementing a counter value for each instance that the first access rule is triggered by an access request of the plurality of access requests during the designated period of time;
- calculating a first trigger percentage for the first access rule based on the counter value of the first access rule during a first subset of time of the designated period of time;
- calculating a second trigger percentage for the first access rule based on the counter value of the first access rule during a second subset of time of the designated period of time;
- determining a trigger percentage difference between the first trigger percentage and the second trigger percentage;
- determining whether the trigger percentage difference is statistically significant;
- and
- providing a recommendation regarding the first access rule for the first profile in response to determining that the trigger percentage difference is statistically significant.
A server computer comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory;
- a computer readable medium coupled to the processor, the computer readable medium storing instructions executable by the processor for implementing a method comprising:
- receiving a first access rule for a first profile from a plurality of access rules for evaluation;
- initializing a counter associated with the first access rule for the first profile, wherein the counter tracks a triggering of the first access rule for the first profile during a designated period of time;
- receiving a plurality of access requests during the designated period of time;
- incrementing a counter value for each instance that the first access rule is triggered by an access request of the plurality of access requests during the designated period of time;
- calculating a first trigger percentage for the first access rule based on the counter value of the first access rule during a first subset of time of the designated period of time;
- calculating a second trigger percentage for the first access rule based on the counter value of the first access rule during a second subset of time of the designated period of time;
- determining a trigger percentage difference between the first trigger percentage and the second trigger percentage;
- determining whether the trigger percentage difference is statistically significant;
- and
- providing a recommendation regarding the first access rule for the first profile in response to determining that the trigger percentage difference is statistically significant.
A system for review of access rules, the system comprising:
- a server computer, comprising a processor and a memory, configured to:
- receive a first access rule for a first profile from a plurality of access rules for evaluation;
- initialize a counter associated with the first access rule for the first profile, wherein the counter tracks a triggering of the first access rule for the first profile during a designated period of time;
- receive a plurality of access requests during the designated period of time;
- increment a counter value for each instance that the first access rule is triggered by an access request of the plurality of access requests during the designated period of time;
- calculate a first trigger percentage for the first access rule based on the counter value of the first access rule during a first subset of time of the designated period of time;
- calculate a second trigger percentage for the first access rule based on the counter value of the first access rule during a second subset of time of the designated period of time;
- determine a trigger percentage difference between the first trigger percentage and the second trigger percentage;
- determine whether the trigger percentage difference is statistically significant;
- and
- providing a recommendation regarding the first access rule for the first profile in response to determining that the trigger percentage difference is statistically significant.
