Abstract
A technique for limiting access to the resources of a system is disclosed. In one embodiment, wherein the system has a server for processing requests, and wherein the server supports a plurality of projects, the technique includes receiving a request to access the resources of the system. The request is denied based upon an application level and a setting level, wherein the application level is associated with one of a plurality of functional layers within the system that is affected by the request, and wherein the setting level is a limiting value associated with one of the server alone and the server with one or more of the plurality of projects. The limiting value limits an operation on one of the plurality of functional layers, thereby limiting access to the resources of the system.
