Abstract
In one example, a method for managing user access includes creating a set of user characteristics for authorization of a user. The user characteristics are compared to application roles included in respective application authorization profiles, each of which corresponds to a different respective application. Matches are identified between the user characteristics and multiple application roles, and matching application roles and associated respective privilege masks are extracted from the application authorization profiles. The extracted information is used to create multiple tokens, each of which corresponds to a respective application. The tokens are returned to the applications and enable access control to be performed by the respective applications to which the tokens are returned.
