Abstract
An identity management system is augmented to enable a manager to associate “risk” metadata with different types of access requests representing computer system accounts that can be requested by authorized users. When an authorized user then requests access to a particular account, any “risk” associated with that access is shown to the user, typically in the form of a visual “badge” or other such indicator. The badge includes an appropriate informational display (e.g., “High Risk” or “Regulated”) that provides an appropriate risk warning. The risk metadata badge information preferably also is displayed for risk-based access request approval routing; in such context, the risk metadata may also determine the risk approval workflow itself. Thus, for example, if the risk metadata is present when the authorized user requests access, an approval workflow may be modified so that the request approval is routed appropriately.
