A server for authenticating an account, the server comprising:

• at least one memory operable to store program code;
• and
• at least one processor operable to read the program code and operate as instructed by the program code, the program code comprising:
• receiving code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to receive, from a first client, a resource access request requesting for accessing, by a first account, a target resource in a cloud storage system, the first account logging in to the first client;
• determining code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to determine, in response to the resource access request, a first access right of the first account based on right configuration information corresponding to the target resource, the right configuration information indicating an association relationship between an account and an access right of the account to the target resource;
• and
• allowing code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to allow the first account to access the target resource through the first client based on the first access right indicating that the first account is allowed to access the target resource.

A non-transitory storage medium, storing computer program, which, when executed by at least one processor, causes at least one of the at least one processor to perform a method of authenticating an account, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a first client, a resource access request requesting for accessing, by a first account, a target resource in a cloud storage system, the first account logging in to the first client;
• determining, in response to the resource access request, a first access right of the first account based on right configuration information corresponding to the target resource, the right configuration information indicating an association relationship between an account and an access right of the account to the target resource;
