Abstract

Example methods are provided to for automated determination of a minimal set of privileges that are required to execute a workflow in a virtualized computing environment. While the workflow is being executed, interactions with a user interface are recorded. The interactions include application program interface (API) calls. The method identifies the privileges that are used to execute the API calls, and the identified privileges are combined to form the minimal set of privileges. A model is generated that associates the minimal set of privileges to the workflow, and the model is applied to determine the privileges to assign to users that will be performing the same workflow.
