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 set of resources is specific to a software instance on the computing system, the software instance associated with a user of the computer system; and
generating a set of account permissions for an account based on the record of API interactions, the set of account permissions limited to the software instance associated with the user, and the set of account permissions allowing that account to access the set of resources of the computing system that is specific to the software instance.
