Determining access permission

A computer program product for utilizing repositories of social network databases for calculating an access permission level for a first individual, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:

• receiving a first facial image of the first individual captured through a monitoring device at a computerized locking mechanism;
• comparing, in response to the receiving, the first facial image with facial images of pre-categorized individuals stored in a repository of pre-categorized individuals, wherein each pre-categorized individual is sorted into a category within a group of categories including at least a first category, a second category, and a third category;
• comparing, in response to the first facial image being absent from the repository of pre-categorized individuals, the first facial image with facial images of non-categorized individuals stored in a repository of non-categorized individuals;
• identifying, based on the comparing, a facial image of a second individual that has an image match score with the first facial image that is above an image match threshold;
• collecting, in response to the identifying, categorization data associated with the second individual from the repositories of social network databases;
• sorting, based on the collected categorization data, the second individual into one of the categories;
• determining, based on the image match score of the second individual and category of the second individual, an access permission level for the first individual;
• and
• providing the access permission level to a first user;
• wherein determining an access permission level includes accessing a security policy, wherein the security policy utilizes an identification value matrix to define access permission.

A computer system for utilizing repositories of social network databases for calculating an access permission level for a first individual, the computer system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor in communication with the memory, wherein the processor is configured to perform a method, the method comprising:
• receiving a first facial image of the first individual captured through a monitoring device at a computerized locking mechanism;
• comparing, in response to the receiving, the first facial image with facial images of pre-categorized individuals stored in a repository of pre-categorized individuals, wherein each pre-categorized individual is sorted into a category within a group of categories including at least a first category, a second category, and a third category;
• comparing, in response to the first facial image being absent from the repository of pre-categorized individuals, the first facial image with facial images of non-categorized individuals stored in a repository of non-categorized individuals;
• identifying, based on the comparing, a facial image of a second individual that has an image match score with the first facial image that is above an image match threshold;
• collecting, in response to the identifying, categorization data associated with the second individual from the repositories of social network databases;
• sorting, based on the collected categorization data, the second individual into one of the categories;
• determining, based on the image match score of the second individual and category of the second individual, an access permission level for the first individual;
• and
• providing the access permission level to a first user;
• wherein determining an access permission level includes accessing a security policy, wherein the security policy utilizes an identification value matrix to define access permission.
