1. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, when executed the instructions are effective to cause a content management system to:
- determine a latest revision to a first namespace accessible by a user account of the content management system and one or more access permissions for the first namespace;
send, to a client device, information regarding the latest revision to the first namespace, wherein the client device is authorized to access the user account on the content management system;
send, to the client device, a cursor associated with the latest revision to the first namespace, wherein the cursor includes a token based on last known access state data, a namespace identifier, and information identifying the latest revision;
receive, at the content management system, a request to commit a change to the first namespace, wherein the request includes the cursor, and wherein the cursor further includes information based on the change to the first namespace;
determine that the token provides access permission to the first namespace based on the one or more access permissions to the first namespace;
determine that the change to the first namespace is an update to the first namespace; and
commit the change to the first namespace based on the change to the first namespace being an update to the first namespace and the token providing access permission to the first namespace.

Abstract
The present technology pertains to an organization directory hosted by a synchronized content management system. The corporate directory can provide access to user accounts for all members of the organization to all content items in the organization directory on the respective file systems of the members'"'"' client devices. Members can reach any content item at the same path as other members relative to the organization directory root on their respective client device. In some embodiments novel access permissions are granted to maintain path consistency.

8. A method comprising:
-
determining a latest revision to a first namespace accessible by a user account of the content management system and one or more access permissions for the first namespace; sending, to a client device, information regarding the latest revision to the first namespace, wherein the client device is authorized to access the user account on the content management system; sending, to the client device, a cursor associated with the latest revision to the first namespace, the cursor including a token based on last known access state data, a namespace identifier, and information identifying the latest revision; receiving, at the content management system, a request to commit a change to the first namespace, wherein the request includes the cursor, and wherein the cursor further includes information based on the change to the first namespace; determining that the token provides access permission to the first namespace based on the one or more access permissions to the first namespace; determining that the change to the first namespace is an update to the first namespace; and committing the change to the first namespace based on the change to the first namespace being an update to the first namespace and the token providing access permission to the first namespace. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A content management system comprising:
-
at least one or more processors; at least one memory having instructions stored thereon, that when executed the instructions are effective to cause the at least one or more processors to; determine a latest revision to a first namespace accessible by a user account of the content management system and one or more access permissions for the first namespace; send, to a client device, information regarding the latest revision to the first namespace, wherein the client device is authorized to access the user account on the content management system; encrypt and sign a cursor including a token based on last known access state data, a namespace identifier, and information identifying the latest revision; send, to the client device, the cursor; receive, at the content management system, a request to commit a change to the first namespace, wherein the request includes the cursor identifying information associated with the change to the first namespace and the request further includes information based on the change to the first namespace; determine that the token provides access to the first namespace based on the one or more access permissions to the first namespace; determine that the change to the first namespace is an update to the first namespace; and commit the change to the first namespace based on the change to the first namespace being an update to the first namespace and the token providing access to the first namespace. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
