When expiration of an admin's certificate is determined, an access engine may initiate an operation to restore the admin's access. This may include a voting operation where at least applications in the system vote on whether the entity claiming to be the admin is the admin. In one example, each application vote may be based on whether information provided by the alleged admin can be verified by the application or from the application. If the applications s can verify the identity of the admin may matching information provided by the admin with information in the applications, such as logged information, the admin may be verified and the certificate may be installed. If the vote is successful, one of the tenant admins may be given temporary privileges or permissions to install the admin's new certificate, after which the admin is reinstated and has access to the system.
