Methods and apparatuses for selecting privileges for use during a data collaboration session
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- at a server that supports a data collaboration session, receiving a selection of a primary group name;
receiving an identification of a first device that is a member of a primary group associated with the primary group name;
receiving privileges associated with the member of the primary group, wherein the privileges limit recording of the data collaboration session by one or more other devices that are non-members of the primary group;
storing the primary group name, an identification of the first device, the privileges, and an Internet Protocol (IP) address range associated with the primary group name within a profile;
establishing the data collaboration session between the first device and the one or more other devices to share data among users of the devices; and
restricting the recording of the data collaboration session by a second device according to the privileges based on a determination that the second device is a non-member of the primary group having an IP address that does not fall within the IP address range associated with the primary group name stored within the profile.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a plurality of electronic devices participating in a data collaboration session are detected. A group, of a plurality of groups, is determined to which each of the plurality of electronic devices is associated. At least some of the groups correspond to companies. Based on the determined group to which each of the plurality of electronic devices is associated, one or more limitations are identified that restrict the recording of data shared during the data collaboration session. The identified one or more limitations are enforced on only some of the plurality of electronic devices participating in the data collaboration session, such that electronic devices associated with a group that corresponds to the first company are allowed to record the data collaboration session, yet an electronic device associated with a group that corresponds to a second company is prevented from recording the data collaboration session.

9. An apparatus comprising:
-
a network interface device configured to enable communications of a network; a memory; and a processor coupled to the network interface device and the memory, and configured to; receive a selection of a primary group name; receive an identification of a first device that is a member of a primary group associated with the primary group name; receive privileges associated with the member of the primary group, wherein the privileges limit recording of a data collaboration session by one or more other devices that are non-members of the primary group; store the primary group name, an identification of the first device, the privileges, and an Internet Protocol (IP) address range associated with the primary group name within a profile; establish the data collaboration session between the first device and the one or more other devices to share data among users of the devices; and restrict the recording of the data collaboration session by a second device according to the privileges based on a determination that the second device is a non-member of the primary group having an IP address that does not fall within the IP address range associated with the primary group name stored within the profile. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method comprising:
-
at a server that supports a data collaboration session, receiving a selection of a primary group name; receiving an identification of a first device that is a member of a primary group associated with the primary group name; receiving privileges associated with the member of the primary group, wherein the privileges limit transmission of documents during the data collaboration session from the first device to one or more other devices that are non-members of the primary group; storing the primary group name, an identification of the first device, the privileges, and an Internet Protocol (IP) address range associated with the primary group name within a profile; establishing the data collaboration session between the first device and the one or more other devices to share data among users of the devices; and restricting the first device from transmitting documents to a second device during the data collaboration session based on a determination that the second device is a non-member of the primary group having an IP address that does not fall within the IP address range associated with the primary group name stored within the profile. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
