1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
obtaining a record of application programming interface (API) interactions involving a software application accessing a set of resources of a computing system, wherein the record of API interactions is based on API calls received by the computing system from an external device that is separate to the computing system; and
generating a set of account permissions for an account based on the record of API interactions, the set of account permissions allowing that account to access the set of resources of the computing system.
