ABSTRACT:
Described herein is a centralized access request authorization system comprising an authorization module, one or more server systems, and a collection of one or more storage systems connected through a network. An application executing on a server system receives an access request for accessing the storage system collection and sends an authorization request to the authorization module for authorizing the access request. The application may be configured to only send the access request to the storage system collection if it first receives an authorization of the access request from the authorization module. Since the application is configured to do such, the storage system performs the access request without performing any authorization verification on the access request. The authorization module may receive authorization requests from a plurality of applications (executing on a plurality of server systems) and determine received authorization requests using a single repository of access permission information.
