Claims Following is the claim for this invention: - 1. In this invention we have multiple accounts of multiple customers for applications and services in the cloud being managed by policies and privileges set by the respective owners of those accounts (typically an organisation). We provide data isolation per customer by following the paradigm of one database per customer for all his accounts. Also we provide full database access (for read-only and backup purposes) to the customer and customer (or administrator) uses various command-line or web interfaces to set some policies or privileges for his accounts. Typically these policies and privileges for different accounts of the customer are for read-only purposes and for analysing different data reports by different people or users with different hierarchy in the organisation. In rare cases these policies or privileges might allow writes or updates as well for different application or service data. Entire customer account lifecycle from creation to deletion is managed by the customer account manager and it can also set customer level privileges or policies like allowing Single Sign-On for accessing data from different accounts of the customer with one single User Identification and Password. The above novel technique of managing different accounts of multiple customers is the claim for this invention. |
