Method and system for implementing customer resource use as a service

An apparatus, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer readable medium communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, the non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer software comprising a set of instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the apparatus to:
• receive, from a first user, a request to access at least one network-accessible resource associated with a second user, the first user being unassociated and unrelated with the second user;
• identify at least one of a user identification associated with the first user;
• determine whether at least one resource record associated with the second user indicates that the first user has permission to access the at least one network-accessible resource, based at least in part on the identified user identification;
• based on a determination that the at least one resource record associated with the second user indicates that the first user has permission to access the at least one network-accessible resource, provide the first user with access to the at least one network-accessible resource associated with the second user;
• and
• based on a determination that the at least one resource record associated with the second user indicates that the first user does not have permission to access the at least one network-accessible resource, deny, to the first user, access to the at least one network-accessible resource associated with the second user.

A system, comprising:

• a computing system, comprising:
• at least one first processor;
• and
• a first non-transitory computer readable medium communicatively coupled to the at least one first processor, the first non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer software comprising a first set of instructions that, when executed by the at least one first processor, causes the computing system to:
• receive, from a first user, a request to access at least one network-accessible resource associated with a second user, the first user being unassociated and unrelated with the second user;
• identify at least one of a user identification associated with the first user;
• determine whether at least one resource record associated with the second user indicates that the first user has permission to access the at least one network-accessible resource, based at least in part on the identified user identification;
• based on a determination that the at least one resource record associated with the second user indicates that the first user has permission to access the at least one network-accessible resource, provide the first user with access to the at least one network-accessible resource associated with the second user;
• and
• based on a determination that the at least one resource record associated with the second user indicates that the first user does not have permission to access the at least one network-accessible resource, deny, to the first user, access to the at least one network-accessible resource associated with the second user.
