Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to managing access to protected computer resources. More particularly, embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for modifying a user's ability to access a protected computer resource while the user is currently using the resource. If the privileges granted to a user for accessing the protected resource are altered, these alterations take effect in substantially real time. In an exemplary embodiment, a user data repository will initiate the process of altering the user's access privileges upon changes of data in the repository. In this way, it does not matter how or by whom the data in the repository is changed, but the change itself is sufficient to initiate a re-computation of a user's access privileges to the protected resource.
