Abstract

A multi-identity security environment is created for use in controlling access to resources. The multi-identity security environment enables one process that is spawned by another process to access resources security accessible to the one process, as well as resources security accessible to the another process. The multi-identity security environment includes an identity of the one process and an identity of the another process.
