SELF-SERVICE RESOURCE PROVISIONING HAVING COLLABORATIVE COMPLIANCE ENFORCEMENT
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for providing self-service resource provisioning having collaborative compliance enforcement, comprising:
- displaying a hierarchical list of resources for selection of at least one of a plurality of privileges associated with the resources;
in response to a user selecting at least one of the privileges from the hierarchical list, adding the selected privilege to a request cart to enable the user to initiate a request for the privilege; and
in response to a user submitting the request cart, automatically invoking a workflow process to approve a request for the privilege, wherein the workflow is dynamically generated at least in part from the structure of the hierarchical list of resources and a location of the privilege within the hierarchical list.
