Abstract
A virtualized computing system includes a plurality of inventory objects and an access control subsystem that manages permissions to perform actions on the inventory objects using corresponding access control labels of the inventory objects. Permissions are managed by detecting a change in an association of a tag with an inventory object, where the tag defines one or more users and one or more privileges. In response to the detecting, an access control label of the inventory object is updated based on the users and privileges that are defined by the tag.
