Methods and corresponding systems and apparatuses for configuring user access to data stored in and/or accessed through an external computer system are described. Access permissions can be configured through defining a permission set relative to a proxy entity and assigning the permission set to one or more users. A proxy entity is a local representation of an external data entity. A proxy entity can be a virtual entity in that the proxy entity does not contain underlying data. A proxy entity can, however, include metadata describing its corresponding external data entity. A computer system maintaining a proxy entity can store mapping information linking the proxy entity to an external data entity. The mapping information and the permission set can be used to determine an access permission relative to the external data entity and to communicate this access permission to the external computer system so that access can be provided accordingly.

Access controls for external data records

Technologies are provided for tracking learning progress of an end user of a cloud computing platform when the end user is not registered with an external learning platform that provides an external learning application. In response to the end user interacting with virtual learning entities provided at the cloud computing platform, learning progress information with respect to the external learning application is generated. When a user service of the external learning platform receives a request to persist the learning progress information for the end user, the user service can determine whether a corresponding user account exists at the external learning platform that corresponds to the end user. If a corresponding user account does not exist, the user service can automatically provision an escrow user account that is associated with the end user. The escrow user account persists the learning progress information of the end user.
