1. A method comprising:
receiving, at a device, a set of actions to be performed on one or more targets for a low-code workflow specified via a user interface;
determining, by the device, authorization scopes for the set of actions by associating authorization scope tags with the set of actions and by associating each of the one or more targets with one or more access keys that are associated with access key scope tags,
wherein the authorization scope tags are indicative of a type of authorization associated with a first action at a first target of the one or more targets,
further wherein the access keyscope tags are associated with a second action at a second target of the one or more targets;
comparing, by the device, the authorization scope tags to the access key scope tags for the one or more targets; and
providing, by the device and to the user interface, an excessive authorization notification, when the access key scope tags for the targets exceed the authorization scope tags for the set of actions.
