ABSTRACT:
A method of granting permission to use computer software resources when the user may be offline is accomplished through the use of proxy accounts. Each proxy account encapsulates a single set of user credentials. A set of user credentials contains at least a user name and a secret identifier, such as a password. These credentials are used by a scheduler function as an agent for the user to utilize computer resources to run jobs or tasks on behalf of the user. An embodiment of the invention allows for many different proxy account objects each having one set of credentials. The credentials are used at runtime to impersonate the user and allow a job to run. The job may involve multiple software subsystems. The architecture allows multiple proxy accounts to be created which allows system administrators flexibility in assigning different permissions to different users across multiple software environments.
