Controlling access to microservices within a multi-tenancy framework

A method for controlling access to a network comprising:

• receiving, by processing circuitry in communication with a storage device, data including an indication to share an object created by an owner entity of a set of entities with a subset of entities of the set of entities, wherein each entity of the set of entities has access to the network, wherein the set of entities form a hierarchy within the set of entities of a multi-tenancy framework in the network, and wherein the received data indicates how the entities of the subset of entities are connected to each other within the hierarchy, wherein the controller has access to the network, and wherein the controller comprises the storage device and the processing circuitry;
• generating, by the processing circuitry, a rule that permits each entity of the subset of entities that requests the object to access the object via the network based on the hierarchy indicated by the received data;
• and
• saving, by the processing circuitry, the rule to a rules database.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions for causing one or more processors to:

• receive data including an indication to share an object created by an owner entity of a set of entities with a subset of entities of the set of entities, wherein each entity of the set of entities has access to a network, wherein the set of entities form a hierarchy within the set of entities of a multi-tenancy framework in the network, and wherein the received data indicates how the entities of the subset of entities are connected to each other within the hierarchy;
• generate a rule that permits each entity of the subset of entities that requests the object to access the object via the network based on the hierarchy indicated by the received data;
• and
• save the rule to a rules database.
