A system includes access controls that allow or deny a request based at least in part on a context associated with the request. A service receives a request from a client, and forwards information that describes the request and the context of the request to a context management service. The context management service determines whether the request should be allowed by querying a set of context validation plugins. Each context validation plugin analyzes particular characteristics of a request's context, and based at least in part on the request's context, indicates to the context management service that the request should be allowed or denied. If a quorum of the context validation plugins indicate to the context management service that the request should be allowed, the context management service indicates to the service that the request is allowed within the provided context.
