Authorizing Access by a Third Party to a Service from a Service Provider

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for authorizing third-party access to a specific service from a service provider. In an example embodiment, a server system identifies a shared service from multiple services provided by the server system. The shared service is specified by an authorizing entity. The server system provides a credential associated with the shared service and the authorizing entity. The server system receives a request to access the shared service from a requesting entity that is separate from the authorizing entity. The server system verifies that the request includes the credential and that the credential is associated with the shared service and the authorizing entity. The server system provides access to the shared service to the requesting entity based on verifying that the request includes the credential. The requesting entity is restricted to accessing the shared service identified by the credential as authorized by the authorizing entity.
