Method and system for maintaining secure access to web server services using permissions delegated via electronic messaging systems

摘要

A method and system for manipulating permissions used to obtain access to services on a web server are disclosed. A permission may be included in a single electronic message that is to be sent to multiple recipients via a messaging system. An electronic message including the permission is sent to each recipient via the messaging system. The electronic message can be automatically processed by the web server upon receipt of the electronic message from a recipient seeking access to the service.
