Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for managing access to resources using scenarios. One method includes an operation for storing first scenario data received for a first control scenario. The first scenario data comprises a control scenario identifier, a first resource, an authorization control, and a scenario trigger that defines an event that causes an activation of the first control scenario for providing access to the first resource. Further, the method includes operations for monitoring for an occurrence of the scenario trigger and detecting an occurrence of the event associated with the scenario trigger. Further, the method determines, in response to the occurrence of the event, a set of users authorized to access the first resource, including accessing the first scenario data to determine the set of users associated with the authorization control. Furthermore, access is provided to the set of users based on the determining.

Scenario-based access control

A system displays summaries of relationships of a selected data asset with other data assets at a limited number of levels upstream and downstream from the selected data asset in rows above and below the selected data asset. In each row, data assets are arranged in order of usage, with most used data asset displayed directly above or below the selected data asset. The user views grandparent-level data assets of a parent-level data asset that is directly above the selected data asset. The system includes a carousal feature to further navigate the lineage data upstream or downstream. By selecting a new data asset in the parent row, the user can view grandparent-level data assets of the newly selected data asset. The user can view multiple upstream or downstream levels arranged in respective rows displayed above or below the selected data asset. The system can analyze data from any application.

Systems and methods for dynamically rendering data lineage

Concepts and technologies are described herein for managing recurring appointments without losing historical data associated with the recurring appointments. In accordance with the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, a recurring appointment definition can be modified without deleting the recurring appointment definition and/or losing exceptions, notes, and/or other data associated with the recurring appointment definition. Additionally, the concepts and technologies disclosed herein allow the modification of an existing recurring appointment definition without creating a new recurring appointment definition. Thus, synchronization between rules-based calendaring applications and expansion-based calendaring applications can be accomplished without creating multiple instances of related recurring appointments created due to modifications of the recurring appointment definition.
