Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products configured to determine communities within an organization dynamically based on the distribution of entitlements within the organization.

Dynamic community generator

Embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and computer program products for monitoring and/or controlling access to entitlements. For example, in one embodiment a computer program product is configured to periodically examine the members of a particular community in an organization and automatically identify members in the community that have access to software applications, datasets, or other organizational resources that are uncommon in the community, which may indicate that the member should not have access to the such resources. The computer program product of embodiments of the invention is also configured to automatically and periodically determine the resources that members of the same community should all probably have access to. As such, embodiments of the present invention allow an organization to more efficiently monitor and control access to its resources and other entitlements.

Dynamic entitlement manager

Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products configured to calculate an indicator of the likelihood that an entitlement exists in a first community relative to a second community. The calculated indicator is then used to determine the appropriateness of entitlements within the first community or after a transfer of a person from the first community to the second.
