1. A computer product comprising:
- computer-executable logic instructions stored on a tangible computer readable medium and operable to;
generate a selectable option for displaying a list of virtual collaboration facilities associated with a user;
detect selection of the option;
generate a list of virtual collaboration facilities associated with the user when the option is selected;
detect selection of one of the virtual collaboration facilities on the list;
request information associated with one of the virtual collaboration facilities when the one of the virtual collaboration facilities is selected; and
detect input from the user as a request for a quick key, wherein the quick key can be used to allow an unauthenticated user to enter at least one virtual collaboration facility.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes generating a list of virtual collaboration facilities associated with an authenticated user, and detecting selection of one of the virtual collaboration facilities on the list. An authenticated user can request a key to be issued to allow an unauthenticated user to gain access to the selected virtual collaboration facility.

11. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
generating a selectable option for displaying a list of virtual collaboration facilities associated with a user; requesting information associated with one of the virtual collaboration facilities when the one of the virtual collaboration rooms is selected; detecting input from an authenticated user as a request for a quick key via a virtual collaboration facility, wherein the quick key can be provided to an unauthenticated user to allow the unauthenticated user to gain access to the virtual collaboration facility; and generating the list of virtual collaboration facilities in a pop-up window, wherein the pop-up window includes selectable options to allow the user to manage at least one of the group consisting of;
the virtual collaboration facilities, and the user'"'"'s profile. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer implemented method comprising:
-
generating a list of virtual collaboration facilities associated with a user when an option for displaying a list of virtual collaboration facilities is selected from a user interface; providing information associated with one of the virtual collaboration facilities when the one of the virtual collaboration facilities is selected from the list; and generating a quick key upon request from the user, wherein the quick key allows an unauthenticated user to access the selected one of the virtual collaboration facilities. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)

20. A computer product comprising:
-
computer-executable logic instructions stored on a tangible computer readable medium and operable to; receive a request from an authenticated user for a quick key via a user interface for accessing virtual collaboration facilities, wherein the quick key allows an unauthenticated user to access at least one of the virtual collaboration facilities; and determine whether the quick key was requested while a virtual collaboration facility was selected from a list of virtual collaboration facilities available to the authenticated user, and if so, associate the quick key with the selected virtual collaboration facility. - View Dependent Claims (21)

22. An apparatus comprising:
-
logic instructions stored on a tangible computer readable medium including; browser means for displaying information from an information network and receiving input from a user; means for displaying a list of virtual facilities associated with a user in a pop-up window in a browser display; means for authenticating the user; means for allowing the user to select one of the virtual facilities from the pop-up window; and means for an authenticated user to generate a temporary key for one of the virtual facilities, wherein the key allows an unauthenticated user to access information for the one of the virtual facilities.
