Quorum-based Authorization of Requests Associated with Storage Systems

An illustrative method includes detecting a request to perform a restricted operation with respect to a storage system; monitoring, in response to the request, for authorization events pertaining to the restricted operation and performed by a plurality of entities; detecting, while performing the monitoring, that a threshold plurality of the authorization events are performed by the plurality of entities; and directing, based on the detecting that the threshold plurality of authorization events are performed by the plurality of entities, the storage system to perform the restricted operation.
