Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for evaluating authorization policies that restrict access to API (Application Programming Interfaces) calls to an application executing on a host system. At the application, the method receives an API call to execute. The method directs a process virtual machine (VM) executing inside the application to make an authorization decision for the API call. The method executes the API call after receiving an authorization decision to allow the API call from the process VM executing inside the application.
