Abstract
Techniques for managing authorization are disclosed. In one embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method including receiving, from a centralized authorization service, authorization logic for an application; determining the identity of a user; and, based on the identity of the user, authorizing the use of a particular feature of the application using the received authorization logic.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, from a centralized authorization service, authorization logic for an application, wherein the authorization logic comprises executable code;
- determining an identity of a user;
- and
- based on the identity of the user, without further consulting the centralized authorization service, authorizing the use of a particular feature of the application using the received authorization logic, wherein the particular feature comprises allowing the user to release an email from quarantine, and wherein if the user is not authorized for a second feature, the second feature comprises at least one of displaying a subject of the email or providing a hyperlink of a sender address of the email.
1 more element
An article of manufacture comprising:
- at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium;
- and
- instructions stored on the at least one medium;
- wherein the instructions are configured to be readable from the at least one medium by at least one processor and thereby cause the at least one processor to operate so as to:
- receive, from a centralized authorization service, authorization logic for an application, wherein the authorization logic comprises executable code;
- determine an identity of a user;
- and
- based on the identity of the user, without further consulting the centralized authorization service, authorize the use of a particular feature of the application using the received authorization logic, wherein the particular feature comprises allowing the user to release an email from quarantine, and wherein if the user is not authorized for a second feature, the second feature comprises at least one of displaying a subject of the email or providing a hyperlink of a sender address of the email.
5 more elements
A system comprising:
- one or more processors communicatively coupled to a network;
- wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
- receive, from a centralized authorization service, authorization logic for an application, wherein the authorization logic comprises executable code;
- determine an identity of a user;
- and
- based on the identity of the user, without further consulting the centralized authorization service, authorize the use of a particular feature of the application using the received authorization logic, wherein the particular feature comprises allowing the user to release an email from quarantine, and wherein if the user is not authorized for a second feature, the second feature comprises at least one of displaying a subject of the email or providing a hyperlink of a sender address of the email.
