Existing mechanisms that control access to data based upon whether the user seeking to access the data is identified among the users that are allowed to access the data, can be extended to further control access based upon the provision of credential data by the user, or processes associated therewith. Access control entries can limit access based upon Boolean conditionals, including those referencing credential data, such that access can be granted only to specific users that provide the credential data or, alternatively, to any user that provides it. The referenced credential data can be specified in the access control information in an obfuscated form for security purposes. Information associated with the user, such as a user token, can be temporarily updated to include credential data when provided by the user, so as to enable access to the data but to prevent such access from remaining open too long.
