Abstract
Described are examples for enabling low privileged application to access secure system resources. A request from an application executing at a second privilege level can be received by a broker service executing at a first privilege level, where the request corresponds to accessing secure system resources. It can then be determined whether the application has a defined capability for accessing the secure system resources, whether the application has a protected status, and/or whether a user account associated with executing the application is part of a certain group of user accounts. Based on these determinations, access to the secure system resources can be provided to the application by the broker service.
