Abstract
A method and system for providing a multi-user application executing in a user privilege mode with access to resources of multiple users is described. The multi-user application identifies a first user and a second user of the multi-user application. The multi-user application retrieves an access token for the first user and an access token for the second user. Each access token provides evidence of authorization to access a resource in accordance with access rights of the user. The multi-user application accesses resources by providing one of the access tokens as evidence of authorization to access the resource in accordance with the access rights of the user. The multi-user application can thus access resources of multiple users without having to execute in a system privilege mode.
