Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method gaining insight into applicability of policies that authorize access to at least one service through application programming interface (API) calls by a plurality of users. The method receives an authentication policy that defines multiple users of a system providing the service, and also receives an authorization policy that defines access to the service by the users. The method generates an authorization policy for defining access to the service by authenticated users by combining the first and second policies. The method receives a query regarding access to the service from a particular set of one or more users, and uses the third policy to provide a response to the query that describes access to the service for the particular user set.
