Abstract
A method for limiting access to the proprietary resources of an outsourcer or distributor to the participants/operators having assigned outsourced activities requiring such resources. Access is limited only to the assigned activity execution and prevented from misuse of the resources for unauthorized purposes. Reliable tracking of the lent out resources is provided and access is terminated simply when the associated activity has been completed. An implementation is provided for assigning performable activities to a user or operator together with interactively displaying in association with each activity, the computer resources needed to carry out the respective activity in combination with means, responsive to said assigning means, for granting to said operator through this interactive display, access to the computer resources needed to carry out said assigned performable activity only during the carrying out of said activity, whereby the displayed resource is removed from the display and, thus, becomes inaccessible upon the completion of the activity.
