Various systems and methods for implementing observe-notify callback context automation in a connected device framework are described herein. In an example, the techniques for context automation may include: expansion of RESTful permissions to include an OBSERVE command (e.g., as part of a CRUDON (Create, Retrieve, Update, Delete, Observe, Notify) command definition); configuration of a callback resource to implement the OBSERVE command; access control policies to implement the OBSERVE command; and OBSERVE registration events to be monitored within an access management service.
