Management of entities and elements of a network

Abstract

There is provided a method for automated permission management, comprising: accessing a graph including nodes denoting different groups having different access permissions levels, each group associated with a set of user identities, the graph including edges between nodes that represent at least a partial subset of one another, each edge associated with a score indicating an accuracy of containment between groups connected by the edge, dynamically adapting a tolerance parameter indicating a threshold for amount of accuracy of containment of user identities between different groups, dynamically adapting the graph by creating or removing edges between nodes according to the score of the respective edges relative to the threshold, automatically merging access permission levels of at least two groups connected by an edge for automatically eliminating redundant access permission levels of the groups, and automatically updating access permission levels of the at least two groups according to the dynamically updated graph.
