Abstract
A method for providing controlled access to resources in an enterprise begins by defining a 'mesh' that associates a workplace team to a set of one or more workplace resources. The team has a role that, with respect to the resources, has a set of access permissions. An individual that is not then associated with the workplace team, e.g., in the given role, is assigned a physical or virtual token that represents the individual in the workplace environment. In response to detecting that the token is in physical or logical proximity to a member of the workplace team, the permissions are then automatically extended to the token. The resources are then accessible using the token. When the individual possessing the token is no longer in proximity, the access permissions are automatically revoked. The scope of the mesh configuration may be dynamically updated based on tracking activities of the workplace team.
