Analyzing aggregated event data to identify and address permissions issues

Abstract

A computerized method analyzes permissions and identifies permission insights. A group of event records is obtained from a data source and a subgroup of event records associated with a user is identified in the obtained group of event records. The identified subgroup of event records is mapped to a group of required permissions using a permission hierarchy and a group of granted permissions of the user are identified. It is determined that the group of granted permissions of the user differs from the group of required permissions to which the subgroup of event records is mapped using the permission hierarchy. A permission insight action is performed based on determining that the group of granted permissions of the user differs from the group of required permissions. Thus, the method enables comprehensive analysis of permissions using data from multiple data sources to generate a single set of possible permission issues or insights.
