1. A method for providing access control to a single sign-on computer network, said method comprising:
- associating a user to a plurality of groups;
in response to an access request by said user, determining a group pass count based on a user profile of said user, wherein said group pass count is a number of said plurality of groups in which the access requirement that said access request has to meet; and
granting said access request if said group pass count is greater than a predetermined high group pass threshold value.

Abstract
A method for providing access control to a single sign-on computer network is disclosed. A user is assigned to multiple groups within a computer network. In response to an access request by the user, the computer network determines a group pass count based on a user profile of the user. The group pass count is a number of groups in which the access request meets all their access requirements. The computer network grants the access request if the group pass count is greater than a predetermined high group pass threshold value.
