Abstract
Techniques are provided for determining a minimum set of permissions for a software component. A first set of minimum permissions is determined for proper execution of the software component. The first set designates one or more permissions. Determining the first set includes performing iterative testing to determine whether one or more user permissions are included in the first set by only disabling one of the user permissions on an iteration. Verification processing may be performed in which a second set of minimum permissions is determined and the first set may be compared to the second set to determine whether the first set is equivalent to the second set.
