First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- obtaining a set of attributes associated with a set of users of a document management and collaboration system, the document management and collaboration system maintaining a set of documents and the set of attributes including information indicating interactions by the set of users with one or more services;
determining, at the document management and collaboration system, a set of access privileges for at least one document of the set of documents maintained by the document management and collaboration system by at least obtaining the set of attributes, wherein at least one attribute of the set of attributes indicates a measure between a first character map associated with the at least one document and a second character map associated with a first user of the set of users;
providing a notification indicating the set of access privileges available to a second user of the set of users, the second user being responsible for the at least one document;
obtaining, from the second user, an indication to enforce the set of access privileges; and
enabling the set of users to access to the at least one document in accordance with the set of access privileges.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for controlling access to documents retained by a document management and collaboration system is disclosed. The document management and collaboration system may generate one or more suggested privileges associated with one or more users. An access control policy may specify whether system-generated user privileges may be enforced. If they are enforced, access to one or more document may be made subject to the generated privileges.

5. A system, comprising:
-
one or more processors; and memory that includes instructions that, as a result of execution by the one or more processors, cause the system to; generate, at a document management and collaboration system, a recommended access privilege for one or more users based at least in part on one or more attributes associated with a user, wherein at least one of the one or more attributes is obtained from a cluster matching engine that indicates a significance measure between a weighted cluster of characters utilized by the user and a second weighted cluster of characters determined based at least in part on at least one document maintained by the document management and collaboration system; determine to modify an access policy associated with the at least one document maintained by the document management and collaboration system based at least in part on the recommended access privilege, the recommended access privilege indicating one or more changes to the access policy to enable the one or more users to access the at least one document based at least in part on the user'"'"'s access to the at least one document maintained by the document management and collaboration system; and cause the recommended access privilege for the one or more users to be enforced. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon executable instructions that, as a result of being executed by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to at least:
-
obtain an access control policy specifying privileges of a set of users for accessing a document maintained by a document management and collaboration system; formulate, at the document management and collaboration system, a set of recommended access privileges for the set of users based at least in part on one or more attributes associated with the set of users, at least one attribute of the one or more attributes is a measure between a first character cluster and a second character cluster, wherein the first character cluster is based at least in part on characters included in the document and the second character cluster is obtained based at least on one or more attributes associated with a first user of the set of users; provide the set of recommended access privileges to a second user of the set of users to accept the set of recommended access privileges; and modify the access control policy based at least in part on the set of recommended access privileges based at least in part on an indication to enforce the set of recommended access privileges obtained from the second user. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
