Aggregating access to third party data sources and intelligently managing access through request quotas

Abstract

Aggregating user access privileges across various third-party data sources and intelligently managing query request quotas delegated by the data sources to users having access privileges. Query requests are received from users and in response determining that the user (i) has been granted access privileges to an identified data source responsive to the query and (ii) has available query requests from their specific allocated amount of query request quota, the query request is authorized for submission to the data source that is responsive to the query. Intelligent management of query request quotas includes determining query request quota allotments for each user including adjusting query request quotas when users have been identified as requiring an increase or decreasing in quota allotment.
