Abstract
A computing system detects an access transaction based on one or more resource authorization messages transmitted via a resource authorization protocol. The access transaction pertains to access of a protected resource by a consumer cloud, the protected resource hosted by a provider cloud. The computing system generates relationship data based on the resource authorization messages. The relationship data can indicate a resource owner that is granting the access, the consumer cloud, and/or the provider cloud. The computing system performs an access control action in relation to the access transaction based on the relationship data. The access control action can be allowing the consumer cloud access to the protected resource or denying the consumer cloud access to the protected resource.
