Abstract
A system and method for delegating permissions to a third party are presented. A request to access a first computing resource of a computer server is received from a first user. The first user is prompted to supply a first authentication credential for access to the first computing resource of the computer server and the first authentication credential is received from the first user. After the first authentication credential is received, a request to access a second computing resource of the computer server is received from the first user. An authentication database is accessed to identify a second user associated with the second computing resource, and a request for a second authentication credential is transmitted to a second user. The second authentication credential is received from the second user. When the second authentication credential is received from the second user, the first user is given access to the second computing resource.
