Abstract
In one example, a method for managing user access to data contained in a computing system, includes receiving a token from an authentication service, wherein the token includes an application role and associated privilege mask; receiving an authentication request from an entity seeking access to an application; comparing information in the authentication request with the token; approving the authentication request when the information in the authentication request matches the token, and granting access to the application when the authentication request has been approved, and denying access to the application when the information in the authentication request does not match the token. The receiving, comparing, approving, granting, and denying processes are performed by the application to which the entity is seeking access, and wherein when the entity, or a different entity, seeks access to another application, user access to the another application is controlled by the another application.
