Abstract

Systems and methods may provide for brokering limited access to a service device via an intermediary. In one example, the method may include receiving a request communication at a control device including a request for limited access to a service device, wherein the request is received from an intermediary device on behalf of a request device, and transmitting an access communication to the intermediary device, wherein the access communication includes an access ticket to be used by the request device to gain the limited access of the service device.
