Abstract

Techniques and structures to provide dynamic deployment of access controls in a on-demand environment. A host electronic device may comprise one or more processors coupled with the at least one physical memory device, the one or more processors configurable to receive, via a user interface, request to access one or more resources managed by the electronic device in the multi-user, on demand computing environment, the request comprising one or more request elements, determine whether a virtual access rule logic comprises one or more virtual access check rules which are anchored to the one or more request elements, and in response to a determination that the virtual access rule logic comprises one or more virtual access check rules which are anchored to the one or more request elements, apply the one or more virtual access check rules to the request. Additional subject matter may be described and claimed.

Claims (35)

1. An electronic device configured to implement dynamic deployment of access controls anchored on request actions in a multi-user, on-demand computing environment, comprising:

at least one physical memory device capable to store one or more multi-user on demand databases;

one or more processors coupled with the at least one physical memory device, the one or more processors configurable to:

receive, via a user interface, a request to access one or more resources managed by the electronic device in the multi-user, on demand computing environment, the request comprising one or more request elements;

determine whether a virtual access rule logic comprises one or more virtual access check rules that are anchored to specific request actions of the one or more request elements, wherein the virtual access check rules are deployed dynamically to enforce additional access checks against the request;

in response to a determination that the virtual access rule logic comprises one or more virtual access check rules which are anchored to the one or more request elements, apply the one or more virtual access check rules to the request;

apply one or more anchorless rules to the request; and

block the request responsive to the one or more of the anchorless rules comprising a blocking rule for the request.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 wherein the one or more processors are configurable to:

apply one or more anchored rules to the request.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the anchored rule is anchored to at least one of a user permission or an entity operation associated with the request.

4. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the wherein the one or more processors are configurable to:

block the request when the one or more of the anchored rules comprises a blocking rule for the request.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, are configurable to cause the one or more processors to:

receive, via a user interface, a request to access one or more resources managed by the electronic device in the multi-user, on demand computing environment, the request comprising one or more request elements;

determine whether a virtual access rule logic comprises one or more virtual access check rules that are anchored to specific request actions of the one or more request elements, wherein the virtual access check rules are deployed dynamically to enforce additional access checks against the request;

in response to a determination that the virtual access rule logic comprises one or more virtual access check rules which are anchored to the one or more request elements, apply the one or more virtual access check rules to the request;

apply one or more anchorless rules to the request; and

block the request responsive to the one or more of the anchorless rules comprising a blocking rule for the request.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 5 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, are configurable to cause the one or more processors to:

apply one or more anchored rules to the request.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 6 , wherein the anchored rule is anchored to at least one of a user permission or an entity operation associated with the request.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, are configurable to cause the one or more processors to:

block the request when the one or more of the anchored rules comprises a blocking rule for the request.

9. A method to implement secure data transfer between entities in a multi-user, on-demand computing environment:

receiving, via a user interface, a request to access one or more resources managed by the electronic device in the multi-user, on demand computing environment, the request comprising one or more request elements;

determining whether a virtual access rule logic comprises one or more virtual access check rules that are anchored to specific request actions of the one or more request elements, wherein the virtual access check rules are deployed dynamically to enforce additional access checks against the request;

in response to a determination that the virtual access rule logic comprises one or more virtual access check rules which are anchored to the one or more request elements, applying the one or more virtual access check rules to the request;

applying one or more anchorless rules to the request; and

blocking the request responsive to the one or more of the anchorless rules comprising a blocking rule for the request.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising

applying one or more anchored rules to the request.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the anchored rule is anchored to at least one of a user permission or an entity operation associated with the request.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising

blocking the request when the one or more of the anchored rules comprises a blocking rule for the request.
