Techniques include receiving an access notification identifying a request by an identity for access to an access-protected network resource; identifying a configurable and multi-dimensional policy defining rights of the identity to access the access-protected network resource with respect to the operation of the access-protected network resource; automatically determining, based on the configurable and multi-dimensional policy, whether to perform at least one of: permitting the identity to access the access-protected network resource; denying the identity to access the access-protected network resource; or rotating a secret associated with the identity.
