A method, system, apparatus, or computer program product is presented for performing authorization operations with respect to a set of computational resources in a data processing system. Each person that accesses resources in a data processing system is associated with a personal proximity device, such as an electronic badge, the presence of which can be detected by appropriate detecting devices near the computational resources of the data processing system. A first person is permitted to access an authorized subset of computational resources, and the location of the first person can be determined by the detecting devices. At some point in time, the presence of a second person is detected and the corresponding location is determined. A spatial relationship between the locations of the first person and the second person is computed, e.g., a distance, the authorized privileges of the first person are modified based on the computed spatial relationship.
