  • generating a time-bound constraint record comprising a user id, a transaction, a transaction parameter, a time period, an update time, a rule and a rule accumulator;

    receiving a request said request comprising a user identity, a user transaction, and a user transaction parameter;

    selecting the time-bound constraint record corresponding to the user identity provided in the request;

    determining whether the user transaction and the user transaction parameter in the request correspond with the transaction and the transaction parameter in the time-bound constraint record;

    determining whether the time the request is received is within the time period in the time-bound constraint record;

    evaluating the rule in the time-bound constraint record;

    permitting or denying the request depending upon evaluation of the rule; and

    updating an audit log depending upon the evaluation of the rule.
