Abstract
A system and method for detecting effective permissions of a principal in a cloud computing environment, includes detecting a group of principal nodes, each principal node representing a principal in a cloud computing environment, in a security graph, the security graph storing therein a representation of the cloud computing environment; selecting a first principal node from the group of principal nodes; determining a permission between the first principal node and a resource node, wherein the resource node represents a resource deployed in the cloud computing environment; and associating the group of principal nodes with the determined permission.
