Abstract
A method for multi-tenant authorization includes receiving, from a user account of a multi-tenant computer system, a request for a resource of the multi-tenant computer system. The method further includes determining whether the resource corresponds to a local resource that is local to the user account or to a nonlocal resource that is not local to the user account. The method further includes identifying, by a processing device, a local access control policy of the user account, corresponding to the local resource, or a visiting access control policy of the user account, corresponding to the nonlocal resource. The method further includes determining that the identified access control policy of the user account comprises an access permission corresponding to the resource. The method further includes controlling access to the resource of the multi-tenant computer system based on the access permission.
