A system can maintain a first data store that stores first associations between subjects and first attributes, and a second data store that stores second associations between second attributes and permissions. The system can receive a query that identifies a user account and a resource. The system can determine, from the first data store and a context of the user account in initiating the query, first permissions for the user account with respect to the resource and given the context. The system can determine, from the second data store and the context, second permissions that are a precondition to access the resource given the context. The system can determine, based on whether there is an overlap between the first permissions and the second permissions, whether to approve the query. The system can respond to the query based on a result of the determining whether to approve the query.
