System and method for managing a plurality of clients. A request to implement a change in configuration data is received from a user. The configuration data relates to an operation of a client. The received request is stored in a memory area. Computer-executable instructions request topology data from the memory area based on the configuration data to identify the client. The requested topology data is received from the memory area. Computer-executable instructions identify a notification service associated with the client and notify the identified notification service of the change in the configuration data.

Providing access to a resource via authorization data that conditionally defines the access by an expression that identifies the resource by name and by at least one property of the resource.
