Abstract
A computer implemented web based access control facility for a distributed environment, which allows users to request for access, take the request through appropriate approval work flow and finally make it available to the users and applications. This program also performs an automatic task of verifying the health of data, access control data as well as the entitlements, to avoid malicious user access. The system also provides an active interface to setup a backup, to delegate the duty in absence. Thus this system provides a comprehensive facility to grant, re-certify and control the entitlements and users in a distributed environment.
