Abstract
A user clicks on a link on a third-party Web site from his computer in order to utilize a third-party application with a Web service with which the user has an account. The application contacts the Web service and requests permissions from the user's account. The Web service sends the request to the user's computer asking to grant these permissions to the application. A software module on the user's computer intercepts this request, retrieves a user profile for this Web service, and compares the permissions requested with the permissions allowed from the profile. If any requested permissions are not allowed then the module automatically denies granting permissions and the user is not presented with an option of granting the request. A warning screen may be displayed. If all requested permissions are allowed then the request is presented to the user. A profile may apply to more than one Web service.
