Patent attributes
The present disclosure relates generally to techniques for automatically associating one or more access policies with an account. Specifically, these techniques enable one or more access policies to retroactively be associated with an account that is not associated with at least one access policy. By associating an access policy with an account, managing access to one or more resources provided by the account may be automated based on the associated access policy. An identity management system (IDM) system may manage access policies for determining access to resources of target systems. Accounts that are not associated with an access policies may be associated with the access policies governing access to resources identified by those accounts. Access to the resource(s) associated with those accounts may be updated based on the access granted by the access policies which are associated with those accounts.
