Access control and governance for automations

A computer-implemented method for performing access control and governance for automations, comprising:

• analyzing at least one of activities of a workflow, one or more tools, and one or more prompts for an automation by an automation designer application against access control and governance policy rules by running a series of rules that inspect the activities of the workflow, the one or more tools, and/or the one or more prompts, by a code analyzer of a computing system;
• and
• responsive to one or more analyzed activities of the workflow, at least one of the one or more tools, and/or at least one of the one or more prompts violating the access control and governance policy rules, preventing generation of an automation or publication of the automation until the automation satisfies the access control and governance policy rules, by the code analyzer of the computing system, wherein
• the code analyzer is computer code that automatically runs the access control and governance policy rules as a series of rules that inspect the code written by a user.

One or more computing systems, comprising:

• memory storing computer program instructions for performing access control and governance for automations;
• and
• at least one processor configured to execute the computer program instructions, wherein the computer program instructions are configured to cause the at least one processor to:
• analyze at least one of activities of a workflow, one or more tools, and one or more prompts for an automation by an automation designer application against access control and governance policy rules by running a series of rules that inspect the activities of the workflow, the one or more tools, and/or the one or more prompts;
• responsive to one or more analyzed activities of the workflow, at least one of the one or more tools, and/or at least one of the one or more prompts violating the access control and governance policy rules, prevent generation of an automation or publication of the automation until the automation satisfies the access control and governance policy rules;
• and
• responsive to the analyzed activities of the workflow, the one or more tools, and/or the one or more prompts complying with all required access control and governance policy rules, generate an automation or publish the automation, wherein
• the access control and governance policy rules comprise one or more application and/or universal resource locator (URL) restrictions, one or more package restrictions, one or more activity restrictions, one or more activity property requirements, or a combination thereof, and
• the access control and governance policy rules are defined for the automation designer application based on an organization, a role, a group, an individual developer, or a combination thereof.
