Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a method, a system, and a computer program product for validating a location resource, e.g., a hyperlink, embedded in a message for one or more recipients. The method includes receiving, by a computing node in a distributed computing environment and from a messaging application on a remote client computer, an identifier of a user profile and a location resource. The location resource is embedded in a message and that indicates a path to a computing resource outside of the remote client computer. The method also includes querying a repository in the distributed computing environment to obtain access permission information about the location resource. The method also includes determining, based upon the access permission information about the location resource, whether the user profile has access permission for the location resource.

11. A system, comprising:
-
a remote client computer that includes; a messaging application configured to; send a message to one or more recipients with an location resource that is embedded in the message and that indicates a path to a computing resource outside of the remote client computer, and communicate, visually, access permission of a recipient for the location resource to a sender; a distributed computing environment that includes; a repository of the location resource with access permission for a user profile associated with the recipient; and a processing engine, hosted by a computing node in the distributed computing environment, configured to; receive, from the messaging application, the location resource and the user profile associated with the recipient of the message, query, within a repository in the distributed computing environment, the location resource, determine whether an identifier of the user profile has access permission for the location resource, and communicate the access permission for the location resource to the messaging application in response to the user profile having access permission for the location resource. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage device having a computer readable program stored therein, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on a computing device, causes the computing device to:
-
receive, by a computing node in a distributed computing environment and from a messaging application on a remote client computer, an identifier of a user profile and a location resource that is embedded in a message and that indicates a path to a computing resource outside of the remote client computer; query a repository in the distributed computing environment to obtain access permission information about the location resource; determine, based upon the access permission information about the location resource, whether the user profile has access permission for the location resource; and communicate the access permission for the location resource to the messaging application within the remote client computer in response to the user profile having access permission for the location resource. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
