Abstract
A data management system manages secured data for a plurality of users. The data management system utilizes an access authorization system to authenticate users seeking access to the data management system. The access authorization system provides access tokens to authenticated users. The access tokens enable the authenticated users to access the data management system without again providing authentication data. The access authorization system includes, for each user, an access policy that governs whether the users can use the access tokens to access the data management system. The access tokens have a finite lifetime. If the users use the access tokens within the finite lifetime and if the users satisfy all of the access rules of the access policies, then the lifetime of the access tokens can be extended a finite number of times.
