First Claim
1. A system to present a user interface to modify access rights to electronically stored files identified in an electronic communication associated with a client device, the system comprising:
- a memory; and
a processor, coupled to the memory, to;
present a drafting area of the user interface for a sender to compose the electronic communication and a field area of the user interface to receive user input that identifies a recipient of the electronic communication;
parse the drafting area of the user interface to identify a resource locator of a file of the electronically stored files that are stored on a server;
responsive to identifying the resource locator of the file stored on the server in the drafting area of the user interface, present a notification area of the user interface that identifies a plurality of options to modify access rights of the recipient to the file identified in the electronic communication irrespective of whether the sender is an administrator or an owner of an access control list associated with the file;
present a selection area of the user interface that presents a first option from the plurality of options for selection by the sender; and

Abstract
A method for modifying access rights to electronically stored files linked in a draft electronic communication stored at a client device includes receiving, at a server from the client device, information relating to a plurality of recipients of the draft electronic communication, information relating to a sender of the draft electronic communication, and a first link, where the first link represents a first file. The method further includes determining, at the server, for the sender and for each recipient in the plurality of recipients, the access rights to the first file. The method further includes generating, at the server, a plurality of options for the sender to modify the access rights for the plurality of recipients, where the plurality of options is based on the access rights to the first file, and sending the plurality of options from the server to the client device.
