Abstract
Techniques for supporting access controls on application-specific operations performed by an application include receiving first data at a server distinct from the application. The first data describes a first set of privileges for performing a first set of application-specific operations. Second data is also received at the server. The second data associates a first user of the application with a privilege in the first set of privileges. In response to receiving a request at the server from the application, it is determined whether a particular user may have the application perform a particular application-specific operation based on the first data and the second data. The request indicates the particular user and the particular application-specific operation. A response is sent to the application. The response indicates whether the particular user may have the application perform the particular application-specific operation.
