Abstract
A computing system identifies shared cloud accounts of a cloud that are created for an entity. The computing system resides outside of the cloud. The number of shared cloud accounts is less than a number of entity users that use the cloud. The computing system determines that one of the users is authorized to use any of the shared cloud accounts in response to a determination that identity information of the user is valid. The computing system receives a request from the user to access the cloud and determines whether one of the shared cloud accounts is available to be assigned to the user. The computing system adds the request to a queue based on a determination that none of the shared cloud accounts is available and assigns one of the cloud accounts to the user based on a determination that one of the shared cloud accounts is available.
