A certificate issuer computing system for enforcing permissions delegation in a computing environment, the certificate issuer computing system having permissions to execute at least one transaction on behalf of the user, the system comprising: one or more hardware processors configured by machine-readable instructions to: receive a permissions request, from a requesting computing system, for a permissions certificate, the permissions request specifying permissions to execute the at least one transaction on behalf of the user and the permissions request including a cryptographic public key associated with the requesting computing system; transmit a login request to a user computing system associated with a user, the login request causing a login interface to be displayed on the user computing system; receive an acceptance from the user in response to the login request; generate a permissions certificate data structure in response to the acceptance, the permissions certificate data structure including the cryptographic public key associated with the requesting computing device, a cryptographic public key associated with the issuer computing system, a permissions indication indicating the permissions held by the certificate issuer computer system to execute the at least one transaction on behalf of the user, and a certificate signature of the certificate issuer computer system private key against the certificate object; and return the permissions certificate data structure to the requesting computing system whereby the requesting computing system will be permitted to accomplish the at least one transaction on behalf of the user with a transacting party in place of the certificate issuer computing system based on possession of the permissions certificate data structure paired with a cryptographic signature based on a private cryptographic key associated with the requesting computing system. receive a permissions request, from a requesting computing system, for a permissions certificate, the permissions request specifying permissions to execute the at least one transaction on behalf of the user and the permissions request including a cryptographic public key associated with the requesting computing system; transmit a login request to a user computing system associated with a user, the login request causing a login interface to be displayed on the user computing system; receive an acceptance from the user in response to the login request; generate a permissions certificate data structure in response to the acceptance, the permissions certificate data structure including the cryptographic public key associated with the requesting computing device, a cryptographic public key associated with the issuer computing system, a permissions indication indicating the permissions held by the certificate issuer computer system to execute the at least one transaction on behalf of the user, and a certificate signature of the certificate issuer computer system private key against the certificate object; and return the permissions certificate data structure to the requesting computing system whereby the requesting computing system will be permitted to accomplish the at least one transaction on behalf of the user with a transacting party in place of the certificate issuer computing system based on possession of the permissions certificate data structure paired with a cryptographic signature based on a private cryptographic key associated with the requesting computing system.
