1. A method comprising:
- receiving information associated with a plurality of users accessing a plurality of computer files, wherein each of the computer files is stored in a folder of a plurality of folders on a storage device;
assigning, to each of the folders, users who have accessed one or more computer files stored in the corresponding folder;
comparing users assigned to each folder of a plurality of pairs of the folders, wherein said comparing comprises;
identifying at least one of users and user attributes assigned to a first folder;
identifying at least one of users and user attributes assigned to a second folder;
determining a first difference between the identified at least one of users and user attributes assigned to the first folder and the second folder; and
determining a second difference between the identified at least one of users and user attributes assigned to a third folder and a fourth folder;
determining, by a processing device, a recommended control point based on a comparison of the first difference to the second difference, wherein the recommended control point comprises a folder of the plurality of pairs of the folders, wherein the recommended control point is based on the first difference when the first difference is larger than the second difference and is based on the second difference when the second difference is larger than the first difference.

Abstract
A control point module may receive information associated with a plurality of users accessing a plurality of files. Each of the files may be stored in a folder of the plurality of folders. Users who have accessed one or more files stored in a folder may be assigned to each corresponding folder. Users who have been assigned to each folder of a plurality of pairs of the folders may be compared to identify one or more differences of assigned users between each folder of each pair of the folders. Furthermore, a recommended control point may be determined based on the identified one or more differences of the assigned users.

7. A system comprising:
-
a memory; and a processing device coupled with the memory and to; receive information associated with a plurality of users accessing a plurality of computer files, wherein each of the computer files is stored in a folder of a plurality of folders on a storage device; assign, to each of the folders, users who have accessed one or more computer files stored in the corresponding folder; compare users assigned to each folder of a plurality of pairs of the folders, wherein to perform said compare the processing device is configured to; identify at least one of users and user attributes assigned to a first folder; identify at least one of users and user attributes assigned to a second folder; determine a first difference between the identified at least one of users and user attributes assigned to the first folder and the second folder; determine a second difference between the identified at least one of users and user attributes assigned to a third folder and a fourth folder; determine a recommended control point based on a comparison of the first difference to the second difference, wherein the recommended control point comprises a folder of the plurality of pairs of the folders, wherein the recommended control point is based on the first difference when the first difference is larger than the second difference and is based on the second difference when the second difference is larger than the first difference. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving information associated with a plurality of users accessing a plurality of computer files, wherein each of the computer files is stored in a folder of a plurality of folders on a storage device; assigning, to each of the folders, users who have accessed one or more computer files stored in the corresponding folder; comparing users assigned to each folder of a plurality of pairs of the folders, wherein said comparing comprises; identifying at least one of users and user attributes assigned to a first folder; identifying at least one of users and user attributes assigned to a second folder; determining a first difference between the identified at least one of users and user attributes assigned to the first folder and the second folder; and determining a second difference between the identified at least one of users and user attributes assigned to a third folder and a fourth folder; determining, by a processing device, a recommended control point based on a comparison of the first difference to the second difference, wherein the recommended control point comprises a folder of the plurality of pairs of the folders, wherein the recommended control point is further based on the first difference when the first difference is larger than the second difference and is based on the second difference when the second difference is larger than the first difference. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
