Abstract
Groups of a plurality of tenants are mapped to identity management classes corresponding to respective roles that grant respective permissions. The identity management classes are associated with hierarchical delegation information that specify delegation rights among the identity management classes, the delegation rights specifying rights of members of the respective identity management classes to perform delegation with respect to further members of the identity management classes. In response to a request by a first member of a first of the identity management classes to perform delegation with respect to a second member of one of the identity management classes, it is determined, based on the hierarchical delegation information, whether the first member is allowed to perform the delegation with respect to the second member.
