Abstract
The Access Tester allows an administrator, or any other authorized user, to determine who or what entities have access to a resource, whether a particular individual or set of individuals have access to a resource under certain conditions and whether the authorization rules associated with a resource operate as intended. In one embodiment, an administrator uses a graphical user interface to enter access information. Exemplar access information includes one or more URLs identifying the resource(s), one or more request methods, one or more IP addresses, date and time restrictions, and an identification of one or more users. The Access Tester determines whether the identified users are authorized to access the resource(s) associated with the URL(s) using the request methods, during the date and time provided.
