One example method includes providing temporary access to a computing system and to providing temporary access as a service. The features of a temporary access can be defined by an entity and a user may be able to obtain a token that includes these features, which may be embedded in the token as claims. The user's access is then controlled in accordance with the embedded claims. The temporary access as a service can be federated. The token may include trust levels and tolerance limits. Further, aspects of the temporary access can be monitored and/or changed. Adjustments to trust levels can be automated or manually performed. Further trust for specific users can be gained or lost over time based on at least previous accesses.
