Abstract
Technologies are disclosed for dynamic authorization of users for distributed systems. A permission service allows authorized users to specify permissions for users of different systems, such as physical access security systems (PACS) and easier for users to interact with the authorized resources of the PACS. A manager may select a role for the user to specify the allowed permissions for the user. Changing the permissions/resources of a role automatically changes the permissions for users that are associated with the role. A scope may also be assigned to the user that specifies the locations of the physical resources that the user may access (e.g., a particular data center, a region, globally, . . . ). Instead of having to locate specific resources that the user is authorized to access, a graphical user interface (GUI) displays the authorized resources. When the resources change, the GUI is dynamically updated.
