1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

  • receiving, by one or more computing systems providing a first service, a credential provided by an access manager system for a user that is interacting with the first service and that has performed sign-on activities with the access manager system, wherein the credential represents authority granted from the access manager system to perform subsequent interactions with the access manager system on behalf of the user;

    sending, by the one or more computing systems over one or more computer networks to a second service, instructions from the first service for the second service to provide functionality for the user, wherein the functionality is based at least in part on delegation, from the first service to the second service, of at least some of the authority granted from the access manager system for the subsequent interactions with the access manager system on behalf of the user, and wherein the sending of the instructions includes sending the credential from the first service to the second service and is initiated by one or more interactions of the user with the first service; and

    performing, by the one or more computing systems, and after the second service provides the functionality for the user based at least in part on the authority delegated from the first service to the second service by using the sent credential to interact with the access manager system on behalf of the user, one or more additional interactions with the user based at least in part on the provided functionality.
