Administering devices including allowed action lists
First Claim
1. A method for administering devices in a network, the method comprising:
- creating a user metric vector comprising a plurality of disparate user metrics;
creating a user metric space comprising a plurality of metric ranges;
determining whether the user metric vector is outside the user metric space;
if the user metric vector is outside a user metric space, identifying an action in dependence upon the user metric vector;
determining whether the action is allowed; and
if the action is allowed, executing the action.

Abstract
Exemplary embodiments of the present invention include a method for administering devices in a network. The method includes creating a user metric vector comprising a plurality of disparate user metrics, creating a user metric space comprising a plurality of metric ranges and determining whether the user metric vector is outside the user metric space. If the user metric vector is outside a user metric space, identifying an action in dependence upon the user metric vector the method includes determining whether the action is allowed. If the action is allowed, the method includes executing the action. Many embodiments include receiving an allowed action list, such as for example, receiving an allowed action list from a moderator DML.
