Abstract
Techniques are described for managing relationships between entities in a content management system. Embodiments of the invention identify a relationship between a first entity and a second entity in the content management system. Embodiments monitor the first entity in the content management system to detect an occurrence of a triggering event specified in one or more management rules. One or more actions specified by the one or more management rules are then performed on the second entity in the content management system, responsive to the detected occurrence of the triggering event.
