Abstract:
An indication of a change in a right to use a service or feature is received. For example, this can be based on an administrator granting access to a previously installed service or feature. In response, a notification is sent to a user of the change of the right to use the service or feature. The notification requests the user to provide a credential to approve the change of the right to use the service or feature. For example, a link may be provided in an email or text message that the user can click on to provide a password/user name. The credential is received and verified. In response to validating the credential, access is allowed according to the change of the right to use the service or feature. The user then has access to the service/feature without the administrator having to know the user's credential.
