Abstract
At a hosted storage service, a resource and a request to store the resource are received. The request includes a location of an access control service. The access control service is separate from the hosted storage service and controls access permissions for the resource. A request to access the stored resource is received. The hosted storage service accesses metadata stored in association with the resource and determines that access permissions for the resource are controlled by the access control service. An access request is from the hosted storage service to the access control service, the access request identifying the resource and a user of the client system.
