Abstract

A method for a setting of security settings in relation for objects is provided. The method comprises the following: storing of access rights identifiers, object identifiers and user identifiers in a data storage, displaying at least each of an object symbol, an access right symbol, and a user symbol in a graphical user interface of a computer, wherein the object symbol relates to an object identifier stored in the data storage, wherein the access rights symbol relates to an access rights identifier stored in the data storage, and wherein the user symbol relates to a user identifier stored in the data storage. Moreover, a selection of an object symbol, a displaying of the selection, a selection of a user symbol and a movement of the user symbol in an environment of the access rights symbol, wherein a security setting to the object is set.

Claims

1. Method (100) for a setting of security settings in relation to objects in a computer network, wherein the method (100) comprises:

storing (102) of access rights identifiers, object identifiers and user identifiers in a data storage,

displaying (104) of at least one object symbol (212, 214, 216, 218, 220), an access rights symbol (222) and a user symbol (202, 204, 206, 208, 210) in a graphical user (200) of a computer (700), wherein the object symbol (212, 214, 216, 218, 220) relates to the object identifier stored in the data storage, wherein the access rights symbol (222) relates to the access rights identifier stored in the data storage, and wherein the user symbol (202, 204, 206, 208, 210) relates to the user identifier stored in the data storage,

selecting (106) at least one object symbol (212, 214, 216, 218, 220) relating to one of the objects using the graphical user interface (200),

visualizing (108) the selection of the object symbol (212, 214, 216, 218, 220),

selecting (110) the user symbol (202, 204, 206, 208, 210) using the graphical user interface, and moving (114) the user symbol (202, 204, 206, 208, 210) in an environment of the access rights symbol (222), wherein in the data storage an access right, defined by the access rights symbol (222), to the object, defined by the object symbol (212, 214, 216, 218, 220), for a user identifier, defined by the user symbol (202, 204, 206, 208, 210), is registered, such that a security setting to the object in the computer network is set.

2. The method (100) according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the object symbols (212, 214, 216, 218, 220) in the user interface (200), access rights symbols (222) and user symbols (202, 204, 206, 208, 210) comprise a label (224, 226), stored in the data storage.

3. The method according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the graphical user interface (200) is operated using a pointing device or using a touch sensitive display.

4. The method (100) according to any of the previous claims, wherein the selecting (206, 110) in the graphical user interface (200) is performed using gesture or voice recognition.

5. The method (100) according to any of the previous claims, wherein the data storage is a table (500) in a file system of a computer (700).

6. The method (100) according to any of the previous claims, wherein, the method (100) comprises:

selecting an object-access-rights-user combination (406) and dissolving the same by a delete symbol (224) in the graphical user interface (200).

7. The method (100) according to any of the previous claims, wherein one of the access rights comprises an access limitation within a time period, or to a process step in a workflow, or to a project status, or to an access location, where the user is located.

10. Data processing program product for a setting of security settings to be performed in a data processing system comprising software code portions adapted to execute the method according to any of the claims 1 to 7 if the computer program is executed on a data processing system (700).

11. Computer program product for a setting of security settings, stored on a computer-readable medium, wherein the Computer program product comprises computer-executable program portions adapted to cause the computer to execute the method according to any of the claims 1 to 7 if the program portions are executed on the computer (700).

8. Security system (600) for a setting of security settings in a computer network, the security system comprising:

a storage unit (602) adapted for storing of access rights to objects for a user in a storage unit,

a displaying unit (604) adapted to display (104) of at least an object symbol (212, 214, 216, 218, 220), an access rights symbol (222) and a user symbol (202, 204, 206, 208, 210) in a graphical user interface (200) of a computer, wherein the object symbol (212, 214, 216, 218, 220) relates to an object identifier stored in the data storage, wherein an access rights symbol (222) relates to an access rights identifier stored in the data storage, and wherein the user symbol (202, 204, 206, 208, 210) relates to a user identifier stored on the data storage,

a selection unit (606) adapted for selecting of at least an object symbol (212, 214, 216, 218, 220) relating to the object using the graphical user interface (200),

a visualization unit (608) adapted for visualizing the selection of the object symbol (212, 214, 216, 218, 220),

a selection unit (610) adapted for selection the user symbol (202, 204, 206, 208, 210) using the graphical user interface (200) and moving the user symbol (202, 204, 206, 208, 210) in an environment of the access rights symbol (222), wherein in the data storage an access right, defined by the access rights symbol (222), to the object, defined by the object symbol (212, 214, 216, 218, 220) for a user, defined by the user symbol (202, 204, 206, 208, 210) is registered such that a security setting to the object in the computer network is set.

9. Computer system (700) comprising the security system according to claim 8.
