9. A method comprising:
scanning a workflow definition from which a workflow is to be instantiated to automatically identify one or more of triggers or actions that use a user credential to access a user resource;
generating a machine code generated permission summary based on said scanning, the machine code generated permission summary indicating an intended use of the user credential by the workflow; and
providing the machine code generated permission summary to a consent module that is configured to present the intended use of the user credential to a user and to obtain a user consent to the intended use of the user credential therefrom.
