Abstract
A tool for providing access control for an application. The tool registers, by one or more computer processors, an application. The tool determines, by one or more computer processors, a social platform receives an access request. The tool determines, by one or more computer processors, an access determination for the access request. The tool sends, by one or more computer processors, the access determination for the access request.
Claims18
A method for providing access control for an application, the method comprising:
- registering, by one or more computer processors, an application;
- determining, by one or more computer processors, one or more social platforms receiving an access request for the application, wherein determining includes monitoring the one or more social platforms periodically for a requester to submit the access request for the application;
- determining, by one or more computer processors, an access determination for the access request, wherein determining an access determination includes providing information related to the requester's social reputation, social context, and real-time analysis of social metadata to two or more designated approvers for examination;
- monitoring, by one or more computer processors, the one or more social platforms for the access determination from the two or more designated approvers, wherein monitoring includes applying one or more preferences, wherein the one or more preferences include monitor the one or more social platforms for a response granting access from the two or more designated approvers within a pre-determined time period and a response granting access from each of one or more additional people in a social network of the two or more designated approvers;
- and
- responsive to a determination that the two or more designated approvers provided the response granting access within the pre-determined time period and each of the one or more additional people in the social network of the two or more designated approvers provided the response granting access, providing, by one or more computer processors, the response granting access as the access determination for the access request on the one or more social platforms, wherein providing the response granting access on the one or more social platforms allows for temporary access approval prior to a final approval decision by a designated owner of the application.

A computer program product for providing access control for an application, the computer program product comprising:
- one or more computer-readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to register, by one or more computer processors, an application;
- program instructions to determine, by one or more computer processors, one or more social platforms receiving an access request for the application, wherein determining includes monitoring the one or more social platforms periodically for a requester to submit the access request for the application;
- program instructions to determine, by one or more computer processors, an access determination for the access request, wherein determining an access determination includes providing information related to the requester's social reputation, social context, and real-time analysis of social metadata to two or more designated approvers for examination;
- program instructions to monitor, by one or more computer processors, the one or more social platforms for the access determination from the two or more designated approvers, wherein monitoring includes applying one or more preferences, wherein the one or more preferences include monitor the one or more social platforms for a response granting access from the two or more designated approvers within a pre-determined time period and a response granting access from each of one or more additional people in a social network of the two or more designated approvers;
- and
- responsive to a determination that the two or more designated approvers provided the response granting access within the pre-determined time period and each of the one or more additional people in the social network of the two or more designated approvers provided the response granting access, providing, by one or more computer processors, the response granting access as the access determination for the access request on the one or more social platforms, wherein providing the response granting access on the one or more social platforms allows for temporary access approval prior to a final approval decision by a designated owner of the application.
