1. A method comprising: creating entity-generic user records for a plurality of users associated with a plurality of entities by analyzing entity-specific user records for the plurality of users, wherein the entity-generic user records comprise respective sets of entitlements for the plurality of users; creating entity-generic asset records for assets associated with the plurality of entities by analyzing entity-specific asset records for the plurality of assets, wherein the entity-generic asset records comprise respective sets of permissions for accessing the plurality of assets; utilizing an entity-generic user record for a given user to determine whether the given user has access to a given asset by comparing the set of entitlements in the given entity-generic user record with the set of permissions in an entity-generic asset record for the given asset; and providing the entity-generic user records and entity-generic asset records to the plurality of users in a transparent manner which allows the plurality of users to view the respective sets of entitlements and permissions; wherein creating an entity-generic user record for a given one of the plurality of users comprises analyzing two or more different entity-specific user records associated with the given one of the plurality of users, the two or more different entity-specific user records being associated with two or more different entities and utilizing different labels for at least one analogous entitlement; and wherein the method is performed by at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory.
