Asynchronous authorization of application access to resources

A method comprising:

• recording, by a processor, in a data store, a request by an application to access a resource;
• outputting, by the processor, a notification for an authorized entity to evaluate the request, wherein the authorized entity is to evaluate the request asynchronously with submission of the request by the application;
• determining, by the processor, whether a response is received from the authorized entity;
• and
• based on a determination that the response is received,
• managing, by the processor, the request based on the response;
• and
• clearing, by the processor, the record of the request from the data store.

A computer-readable medium on which is stored computer-readable instructions that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• record, in a data store, a request for access by an application to a resource;
• output a notification to an authorized entity, wherein the authorized entity is to evaluate the request asynchronously with submission by the application of the request and the authorized entity is to return a response as to whether the request is rejected or granted;
• determine whether the response is received from the authorized entity;
• and
• based on a determination that the response is received,
• manage the request based on the response;
