Abstract
A cloud asset manager can securely provide multi-tenant access to remote assets while preserving isolation across tenants. The remote asset manager defines various roles for legitimate users of the remote asset manager. The roles are associated with credentials that provide access to the remote assets and/or information about the remote assets maintained by a service provider. And the users map to roles based on attempted actions that access the service provider. Thus, a user's requested action is attempted with credentials associated with a role that maps to the requested action.
