Abstract
The different illustrative embodiments provide a method, data processing system, and computer program product for managing access to resources. A number of access permissions of a first user to a number of resources in a computer system are provided to a second user in response to a presentation of first credentials for the first user to the computer system. A level of presence of the first user relative to the computer system and/or the second user is monitored. The number of access permissions of the first user to the number of resources in the computer system continues to be provided to the second user as long as a preselected level of presence of the first user is present.
