Mechanisms for controlling access to credentials are disclosed. A computing device receives, at a first time, a request associated with a user to initiate a plurality of actions against a computing resource of a plurality of computing resources, the request including a credential identifier that identifies a credential. A memory is accessed, based on the credential identifier, to retrieve the credential identified by the credential identifier that was stored in the memory at a time prior to the first time, the credential comprising authentication information configured to authenticate the plurality of actions to the computing resource. The computing device communicates the request and the authentication information to an orchestration engine for execution of the plurality of actions against the computing resource.

Methods and apparatus for using credentials to access computing resources

Mechanisms for controlling access to a computing resource are disclosed. A request to initiate an action against a computing resource of a plurality of computing resources is received from a user. A plurality of permission definitions that identify a plurality of corresponding permissions that grant access to the plurality of computing resources is accessed. Based on a set of permissions comprising at least one permission associated with the user and at least one permission associated with a team of which the user is a member, it is determined that at least one permission in the set of permissions grants the user access to the computing resource. The request to initiate the action against the computing resource is processed.
