First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for providing real-time access to information on a computer system over a network, comprising:
- receiving login data on the computer system from a user over the network;
retrieving access control permissions for the user based on the login data;
presenting to the user in a user interface a list of files on the computer system the user is authorized to access, wherein the list of files is determined based on the access control permissions;

Abstract
Under the present invention, user interface pages are served to a user so that the user can access “information” files in real-time using a web browser or the like. In a typical embodiment, the user will input login data, which will be used to access his/her access control permissions. Based on the access control permissions, the files the user is authorized to access will be displayed in a list along with a list of links to other computer systems in the network the user can access. When the user selects a desired file, that file will be retrieved in real-time and the information therein will be communicated to the user for viewing in the interface pages.
