Abstract

An approach for authorizing an action requested by a user in a networked computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment) is provided. In a typical embodiment, a request for a particular action associated with a computing resource is received. The connected systems which may be affected by the requested action are identified. The actual users of the connected systems are determined. A response from each of the actual users is requested. The responses are collected and weighted to determine if authorization for the requested action is granted.
