METHODS AND APPARATUS TO GRANT ACCESS TO CLOUD COMPUTING RESOURCES

摘要

An example method to grant authorization to a user for accessing a cloud computing resource involves receiving a first message from a user via a social media interface. The first message includes a request to access a cloud computing resource. The example method involves determining whether the user is authorized to access the cloud computing resource. When the user is not authorized to access the cloud computing resource, the example method involves determining whether the authorization can be automatically granted without human intervention. When the authorization can be automatically granted without human intervention, the authorization is granted to the user. When the authorization cannot be automatically granted, a second message is sent to an administrator to request the human intervention to grant the user the authorization to access the cloud computing resource.
