Generating derived credentials for a multi-tenant identity cloud service

A multi-tenant system that provides cloud-based identity management receives a request to execute a job, where the job has a scheduled start time, or a timeframe to complete, that exceeds the validity time of a request access token. The system generates the request access token corresponding to the job, where the request access token has access privileges. The system schedules the job and persists the request access token. The system triggers the job at the scheduled start time and generates a derived access token based on the request access token, where the derived access token includes the access privileges. The system then injects the derived access token during runtime of the job and calls a service using the derived access token to execute the job.
