Abstract
Access control enhancements reduce security risks and management burdens when a user with access to a primary asset seeks access to a related supplementary asset. When a sufficient proof of access to the primary asset is provided, and the relationship of the primary and supplementary assets is recognized, access to the supplementary asset is granted without requiring a separate sign-in, a permission query to the supplementary asset's owner, or an authorization through an authenticated identity of the requestor, for example. Automatic access to the supplementary asset can be granted without the security risks inherent in a file share or a share link. In particular, a developer with access to one component of a project can be automatically and conveniently granted access to the rest of the project. Likewise, a custom machine learning model for autocompletion becomes accessible to all developers working on the repository source used to train the model.
