<p>Methods, systems, and techniques for managing groups of entities, such as individuals, employees, or systems, and providing entitlement and access to computer resources based on group membership are provided. Example embodiments provide a Group Management System having a Group Management Engine "GME," an Entitlement Engine, and a Provisioning Engine, which work together to allow simplified grouping of entities and providing entitlement and access to the entities based upon the group membership. In one embodiment, the GME leverages dynamic programming techniques to enable accurate, scalable systems that can manage near real time updates and changes to the group's status or to the entities' status. These components cooperate to enable provisioning of applications based upon current entitlement.</p> |
