Processing within a computing environment is facilitated by: determining by a local security manager of a first system in a first security domain whether a local security context of a user is acceptable to a second system in a second security domain; responsive to the user's security context being unacceptable to the second system, creating by a local security manager of the second system a runtime security context for the user in the second system; and providing the first system with a reference to the runtime security context for the user in the second system which is resolvable within the computing environment or a portable representation of the runtime security context for the user in the second system, the reference or the portable representation being subsequently returned to the second system with a request from the first system to process work at the second system.

Cross security-domain identity context projection within a computing environment

A multi-identity security environment is created for use in controlling access to resources. The multi-identity security environment enables one process that is spawned by another process to access resources security accessible to the one process, as well as resources security accessible to the another process. The multi-identity security environment includes an identity of the one process and an identity of the another process.
