Abstract
In one example, a method for managing user access is performed by or at the direction of an application, and includes receiving a token from an authentication service, and the token includes an application role and associated privilege mask. An authentication request is then received from a sender seeking access to an application. Information in the authentication request is compared with the token, and the authentication request is approved when the information in the authentication request matches the token. Alternatively, access to the application is denied when the information in the authentication request does not match the token.
