Abstract
Reinstating access to a system of an admin whose certificate is invalid or expired is disclosed. When the admin's certificate is expired, the admin may send a request for reinstatement to tenant admins. One of the tenant admins, if satisfied as to the admin's identity, can invoke a voting operation that allows the tenant admins to vote on whether to reinstate the admin. If the vote is successful, one of the tenant admins is given temporary privileges or permissions to install the admin's new certificate, after which the admin is reinstated and has access to the system.
