Abstract
An access system is described herein which allows an application module to access a user-owned resource based on an indication of a user's intent to interact with the user-owned resource. For example, the application module can provide an application user interface which embeds a gadget associated with a particular user-owned resource. The access system can interpret the user's interaction with the gadget as conferring implicit permission to the application module to access the user-owned resource associated with the gadget. In addition, or alternatively, the user may make a telltale gesture in the course of interacting with the application module. The access system can interpret this gesture as conferring implicit permission to the application module to access a user-owned resource that is associated with the gesture.
