1. A computer implemented method for protecting sensitive data in a shared collaborative space, the method comprising:
- associating any one or more of a plurality of sensitivity levels with any one or more of a plurality of users of a shared collaborative space on a computer network;
associating any one or more of the plurality of sensitivity levels with any one or more of a plurality of data elements of the shared collaborative space on the computer network; and
providing access, to a first user among the plurality of users, to a first data set in the plurality of data elements, wherein sensitivity levels associated with data elements of the first data set correspond to an equal or lesser sensitivity level as the sensitivity level associated with the first user.

Abstract
Protecting sensitivity of information in a shared collaborative space on a computer network includes associating a set of sensitivity levels to sets of users and to sets of data elements. Access by each user to the shared collaborative space may be restricted to those data elements that have the same sensitivity level as of the user. Where multiple users join a single session, only data elements having a lowest common sensitivity level are made accessible by the users of the session.
