AUTHORIZING AN ACTION REQUEST IN A NETWORKED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

摘要

An approach for authorizing an action requested by a user in a networked computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment) is provided. In a typical embodiment, a request for a particular action associated with a computing resource is received. The connected systems which may be affected by the requested action are identified. The actual users of the connected systems are determined. A response from each of the actual users is requested. The responses are collected and weighted to determine if authorization for the requested action is granted.

1. A computer-implemented method for authorizing an action in a networked computing environment, comprising:
receiving an action request associated with a computing resource; determining the connected systems potentially affected by the requested action; determining actual users of each of the connected systems; receiving a response from one or more of the actual users; analyzing user data associated with each responding actual user; weighting the response of each responding actual user based on the analysis; and performing the requested action when authorization is granted.
