Abstract
A collection of multiple user credentials each associated with one of multiple different users is obtained at a device, and one or more of the multiple user credentials are verified. A determination is made as to whether access to a resource is permitted, by at least comparing the collection of multiple user credentials to a threshold combination of user credentials to be satisfied to access the resource. An indication of whether access to the resource by a requesting user is permitted is returned or provided to another device.
