Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method comprising: receiving a workflow request, the workflow request corresponding to a plurality of workflow steps; selecting a first workflow step included in the plurality of workflow steps; determining that the first workflow step does not correspond with a shared component; in response to determining that the first workflow step does not correspond with the shared component, identifying a first security level to associate with the first workflow step; processing the first workflow step, wherein the processing includes storing the first security level as a first completed step security level in a workflow security tracking table; selecting a second workflow step from the plurality of workflow steps; determining that the second workflow step corresponds with a shared component; in response to determining that the second workflow step corresponds with the shared component, retrieving the first completed step security level from the workflow security tracking table; and assigning the first completed step security level to the shared component as a shared component security level.
