Abstract
Systems and methods for controlling an edge computing device. The method includes, receiving a user input requesting access to a resource of the edge computing device, determining whether the user has privileges to access the resource by: formulating a claims request which requests claims based on the determined identity of the user, sending the claims request to a local claims provider agent executed by a processor of the edge computing device, determining, based on claim request handling factors, whether the local claims provider agent can generate a token including the requested claims, and if so, generating the token with the requested claims; if not, a request may be sent to a cloud service-side claims provider to receive the token. The method includes authorizing access to the resource based on a predetermined policy that specifies the presence of a predefined resource parameter in the requested claims is sufficient.
