Managing security restrictions on a resource in a defined environment

A system for managing security restrictions on a resource in a defined environment, the system comprising:

• a memory medium comprising instructions;
• a bus coupled to the memory medium;
• and
• a processor coupled to a security system via the bus that when executing the instructions causes the system to:
• maintain a security restriction on a resource in a defined environment, the resource comprising at least one of:
• an information technology (IT) account of a user, and an apparatus;
• continuously monitor a presence of a plurality of users in the defined environment;
• manage the security restriction on the resource based on a detection of a pre-specified set of users from the plurality of users in the defined environment;
• and
• reinstate the security restriction on the resource, wherein the security restriction is reinstated when either of:
• a maximum number of users in the defined environment is attained, or a minimum number of users in the defined environment is not attained.

A computer-readable storage device storing computer instructions, which when executed, enables a computer system to manage security restrictions on a resource in a defined environment, the computer instructions comprising:

• maintaining a security restriction on a resource in a defined environment, the resource comprising at least one of:
• an information technology (IT) account of a user, and an apparatus;
• continuously monitoring a presence of a plurality of users in the defined environment;
• managing the security restriction on the resource based on a detection of a pre-specified set of users from the plurality of users in the defined environment;
• and
• reinstating the security restriction on the resource, wherein the security restriction is reinstated when either of:
• a maximum number of users in the defined environment is attained, or a minimum number of users in the defined environment is not attained.
