Hierarchical delegated permission system for complex organizations

An apparatus for configuring a hierarchical delegated permission modeling framework in a multi-layer service-oriented platform, the apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including program code, the at least one memory and the program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least:

• identify a hierarchical resource structure comprising a first parent resource hierarchical level corresponding to a first parent resource and one or more child resource hierarchical levels corresponding to one or more child resources, wherein the first parent resource is associated with a group and a parent role definition credential, wherein the parent role definition credential is associated with a permissions set;
• receive a user addition indication correlated to the group associated with the first parent resource, wherein the user addition indication is associated with a user profile;
• and
• dynamically assign a hierarchical role definition set to the user profile based on the hierarchical resource structure and permissions set in response to the user addition indication, wherein the hierarchical role definition set comprises dynamic role definition credentials for a user associated with the user profile for each of the one or more child resources, and wherein each of the dynamic role definition credentials is associated with a child permissions subset that is different from the permissions set.

At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium configuring a hierarchical delegated permission modeling framework in a multi-layer service-oriented platform, the at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer coded instructions configured to, when executed by at least one processor:

• identify a hierarchical resource structure comprising a first parent resource hierarchical level corresponding to a first parent resource and one or more child resource hierarchical levels corresponding to one or more child resources, wherein the first parent resource corresponds to a software application associated with the multi-layer service-oriented platform and is associated with a permissions set;
• receive a user addition indication correlated to a group associated with the first parent resource, wherein the user addition indication is associated with a user profile;
• and
• dynamically assign a hierarchical role definition set to the user profile based on the hierarchical resource structure and permissions set in response to the user addition indication, wherein the hierarchical role definition set comprises parent role definition credential for a user associated with the user profile for the first parent resource and dynamic role definition credentials for each of the one or more child resources, and wherein each of the dynamic role definition credentials is associated with a child permissions subset selected from the permissions set.
