Abstract

A method for validating an access request with respect to an application is provided. The method includes: receiving an access request from a user with respect to an application; retrieving, from a memory, group identification information that relates to at least one group to which the user belongs; retrieving, from the memory, scope information that indicates qualifications and/or characteristics of a relationship between the user and the at least one group; and generating a token that notifies the application of the group identification information and the scope information, and is usable by the application for validating the access request. The method may be implemented in an Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) environment.
