Abstract

The method includes receiving a first message to a plurality of user profiles and having a location resource to a first content item. The method also includes determining that a grouping of user profiles from a plurality of recipients do not have access permission to the location resource. The method also includes identifying a first content data for the first content item. The method also includes selecting a first user profile from the grouping of user profiles. The method also includes receiving an access permission for the first user profile to a first plurality of content items. The method also includes recommending one or more repositories for the first user profile based on a similarity of the first content item to a second content item within the one or more repositories that shares at least part of the first content data.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a computing node in a distributed computing environment and from a messaging application on a remote client computer, a first message to a plurality of recipients and having a location resource to a first content item outside of the remote client computer;

determining that a grouping of user profiles from the plurality of recipients do not have access permission to the location resource;

communicating, visually using the messaging application, which recipients do not have access permission by color coding a user profile address for each recipient in an address bar of the messaging application;

identifying a first content data for the first content item;

selecting a first user profile from the grouping of user profiles;

receiving access permission data for the first user profile to a first plurality of content items including a second content item;

recommending one or more repositories for the first user profile based on a similarity between the first content item to the second content item within the one or more repositories, wherein the similarity is determined by the second content item sharing at least part of the first content data with the first content item; and

determining a first alternate location resource, accessible to at least the first user profile, for the second content item within the one or more repositories.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

selecting a second user profile from the grouping of user profiles;

receiving access permission data for the second user profile to a second plurality of content items including a third content item;

recommending one or more repositories for the second user profile based on a similarity between the first content item to the third content item within the one or more repositories; and

determining a second alternate location resource, accessible to at least the second user profile, for the third content item within the one or more repositories.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

recommending the first alternate location resource for the first user profile and the second alternate location resource for the second user profile.

4. The method of claim 3, further comprising:

receiving a recommendation for the first alternate location resource and the second alternate location resource;

creating a second message, based off of the first message, to a first recipient corresponding to the first user profile with the first alternate location resource and a third message, based off of the first message, to the a second recipient corresponding to the second user profile with the second alternate location resource.

5. The method of claim 3, further comprising:

receiving a recommendation for the first alternate location resource and the second alternate location resource; and

adding the first alternate location resource and the second alternate location resource to the first message.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the recommending one or more repositories includes:

retrieving repository preferences for the first user profile; and

selecting the repository from the plurality of repositories based upon the repository preferences.

7. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

querying the repository for the first content data;

comparing the first content data of the first content item to a second content data corresponding to the second content item; and

recommending the repository in response to the second content data being similar to the first content data of the first content item.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein determining the first alternate location resource includes:

determining whether the first alternate location resource is accessible to the grouping of user profiles; and

recommending the first alternate location resource for the second content item in response to the first alternate location resource being accessible to the grouping of user profiles.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the first alternate location resource is selected in response to determining that the first alternate resource is accessible to a majority of the grouping of user profiles.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the first alternate location resource is accessible to the grouping of user profiles by being accessible to the first user profile.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the location resource is a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) and wherein the messaging application visually indicates that fewer than half of the recipients have access permission to the URL by coloring the URL.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein determining that the grouping of user profiles from the plurality of recipients do not have access permission to the location resource comprises:

determining whether access permission data for the location resource exists in one of the one or more the repositories;

requesting, from a network-based application and in response to the existence of the access permission data in the one of the one or more repositories, access permission data for the location resource; and

receiving, from the one of the one or more repositories, denial of access permission to the one of the one or more repositories.

13. A system, comprising:

a distributed computing environment that includes;

one or more repositories; and

a processing engine, hosted by a computing node in the distributed computing environment, wherein the processing engine includes a processor configured to;

receive, from a messaging application to a plurality of recipients, a grouping of user profiles from the plurality of recipients that do not have access permission to a location resource contained within a message and for a first content item,

communicate, visually using the messaging application, which recipients do not have access permission by color coding a user profile address for each recipient in an address bar of the messaging application,

determine a first content data for the first content item,

select a first user profile from the grouping of user profiles,

receive access permission data for the first user profile to a first plurality of content items including a second content item;

recommend one or more repositories for the first user profile based on a similarity between the first content item to the second content item within the one or more repositories, wherein the similarity is determined by the second content item sharing at least part of the first content data with the first content item; and

determine a first alternate location resource, accessible to at least the first user profile, for the second content item within the one or more repositories.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the processing engine is further configured to:

select a second user profile from the grouping of user profiles;

receive access permission data for the second user profile to a second plurality of content items including a third content item;

recommend one or more repositories for the second user profile based on a similarity between the first content item to the third content item within the one or more repositories; and

determine a second alternate location resource, accessible to at least the second user profile, for the third content item within the one or more repositories.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein the processing engine is further configured to:

recommend the first alternate location resource for the first user profile and the second alternate location resource for the second user profile.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the messaging application is further configured to:

receive a recommendation for the first alternate location resource and the second alternate location resource;

create a second message, based off of the first message, to a first recipient corresponding to the first user profile with the first alternate location resource and a third message, based off of a first message, to the a second recipient corresponding to the second user profile with the second alternate location resource.

17. The system of claim 13, wherein the processing engine is configured to recommend one or more repositories by:

retrieving repository preferences for the first user profile; and

selecting the repository from the plurality of repositories based upon the repository preferences.

18. 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, a first message to a plurality of recipients and having a location resource to a first content item outside of the remote client computer;

determine that a grouping of user profiles from the plurality of recipients do not have access permission to the location resource;

communicate, visually using the messaging application, which recipients do not have access permission by color coding a user profile address for each recipient in an address bar of the messaging application;

identify a first content data for the first content item;

select a first user profile from the grouping of user profiles;

receive access permission data for the first user profile to a first plurality of content items including a second content item;

recommend one or more repositories for the first user profile based on a similarity between the first content item to the second content item within the one or more repositories, wherein the similarity is determined by the second content item sharing at least part of the first content data with the first content item; and

determine a first alternate location resource, accessible to at least the first user profile, for the second content item within the one or more repositories.

19. The computer program product of claim 18, wherein the computer readable program causes the computing device to:
