An improved method and system of enabling the owner of an account associated with a resource to allow a second user to gain access to the resource or a particular aspect of the resource is disclosed. Solutions and implementations disclosed provide an easily manageable mechanism for allowing access to a resource, without the need for a complex administrator-based access control system. Instead, a negotiated account to account resource access arrangement is established between the first user's account and the second user's account to share some or all of the actions available to the first user for the resource.
