Methods and systems for using derived user accounts |
摘要 |
Methods, systems and articles of manufacture consistent with features of the present invention allow the generation and use of derived user accounts, or DUA, in a computer system comprising user accounts. In particular, derivation rules define how a DUA is linked to or created based on an existing original user account, or OUA. Derivation transformations may also update the state of a DUA based on its corresponding OUA or give feedback from the state of a DUA to the state of its corresponding OUA. |

1. A computer-implemented method for accessing a resource in a computer system comprising an operating system, comprising:
receiving a request to access a file system or a registry value from an application; determining if the application is running in a derived user account (DUA) context, wherein the DUA context represents a security context of a DUA that is derived from an original user account (OUA) associated with a user, and wherein the determining comprises examining an access token associated with the request to determine if the request is associated with the DUA; if the application is not running in the DUA context, creating the DUA and directing the application to run in the DUA context; and granting the application access to the file system or the registry value. |
