Consolidated Access Control Data for Multi-System Resource Governance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for a system that generates consolidated resource access control data in an electronic network to manage access by third-party entities to entity resources, as existing systems lack the ability to track and control access effectively.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising processing devices and memory devices configured to gather, parse, and consolidate access characteristics from third-party systems, generating resource access control data, and implementing actions such as revoking or granting access based on this data, using a data parsing application and a database matrix.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If access control data is gathered from multiple third-party systems, then comprehensive access visibility is improved, but data consolidation and management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system that acts as a mediator between multiple third-party systems and the entity's resource access control. This intermediary consolidates access control data from various third-party sources, standardizes the information format, and presents unified access visibility to the entity without requiring the entity to directly manage complex integrations with each third-party system individually.
2Productivity
If automated access management is implemented, then operational efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automated access control mechanisms that enable self-service functionality. The system automatically monitors access requests, validates credentials against consolidated third-party data, and grants or denies access without requiring manual intervention. This automation improves operational efficiency by eliminating manual access management tasks while the system handles the complexity internally through standardized processes.
3Measurement precision
If detailed access characteristics are collected from third-party systems, then access control precision is improved, but data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential and relevant access control characteristics from third-party systems rather than collecting all available data. The system identifies and extracts specific fields such as user credentials, access permissions, and resource identifiers that are necessary for access control decisions, filtering out redundant information to reduce data processing volume while maintaining precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the access control data processing into distinct stages: data collection from third-party systems, consolidation and standardization, parsing and validation, and final access control decision-making. This segmentation allows the system to process detailed access characteristics efficiently by handling different data aspects in specialized modules rather than processing all data uniformly.
Data Source
AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for generating consolidated resource access control data in an electronic network. The system is configured for identifying one or more entity resources associated with an entity, gathering access characteristics associated with the one or more entity resources from one or more third party entity systems, consolidating the access characteristics gathered from the one or more third party entity systems, parsing the consolidated access characteristics, via a data parsing application, to generate parsed data, auto-populating a matrix in a storage system based on the parsed data, and generating resource access control data associated with the one or more entity resources and the one or more third party entity systems based on auto-populated data from the matrix.
