Abstract

A cloud service account management method identifies unauthorized or unmanaged accounts making administration console access or API access at a cloud computing service and triggers a work flow to place the accounts under management. In one embodiment, the user device is directed to a registration portal to provide credentials of the unauthorized account. Once the accounts are made managed, the cloud service account management method can monitor the activities of the accounts and can apply compliance or security policies to the managed accounts.
