Abstract:
Systems and techniques to identify and modify unused (or seldom used) access privileges are described. Group membership data may be correlated with access map data to create a user-resource access map identifying privilege levels associated with individual user accounts to access computing resources in a computing system. User activity event logs generated as a result of user accounts accessing the resources may be correlated with the user-resource access map to identify user accounts that do not use (or seldom use) particular privilege levels to access particular resources. The identified user accounts may be modified to remove the unused (or seldom used) privileges levels.
