Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for creating an entitlement resource in a resource management system, the method comprising: receiving a user request to create a new entitlement related to accessing a target resource; receiving one or more properties that define a scope of the new entitlement; creating an entitlement resource for storing and managing information about the new entitlement, wherein each entitlement is created with an expiration date after which the entitlement will be automatically removed without additional user intervention; setting an entitlement type on the created entitlement resource that identifies the resource as representing an entitlement; storing the created entitlement resource in a resource store of the resource management system; responding to the user request indicating the outcome of creating the new entitlement; applying policy to create, update, or delete the resource which the connected system uses as a basis of controlling access or permission, in order to realize the policy intent of the entitlement; and synchronizing the resource to a connected system, wherein the preceding steps are performed by at least one processor.
