First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computerized method for automatically creating a security access policy to an electronic document in a document management system, the method comprising:
- employing at least one hardware processor for performing one or more of the following;
(a1) associating metadata with the document, the metadata comprising one or more attributes of the document;
(b1) configuring security access policies to be applied to documents in the document management system, comprising specifying one or more metadata rules governing application of security access policies to the documents, comprising specifying a dynamic metadata, which is dynamically retrieved based on external content analysis of the document performed outside the document management system, comprising the metadata not inferred from contents of the document; and
(c1) determining the security access policy to be applied to the document to be added to the document management system based on said one or more metadata rules and the metadata associated with the document.

Abstract
A method and system for providing an automated security access policy in a document management system are described. The security policies are applied based on metadata rules. Once a document is added to the document managements system, the metadata rules are evaluated using the metadata of the document. Based on the results of the evaluation security access policies are applied to the document.

11. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, having computer readable instructions stored thereon for execution by a processor, causing the processor to automatically create a security access policy to an electronic document in a document management system, comprising:
-
(a10) associating metadata with a document, the metadata comprising one or more attributes of the document; (b10) configuring security access policies to be applied to documents in a document management system, comprising specifying one or more metadata rules governing application of security access policies to the documents, comprising specifying a dynamic metadata, which is dynamically retrieved based on external content analysis of the document performed outside the document management system, comprising the metadata not inferred from contents of the document; and (c10) determining a security access policy to be applied to the document to be added to the document management system based on said one or more metadata rules and the metadata associated with the document.

12. A system for automatically creating a security access policy to an electronic document in a document management system, the system comprising:
-
a processor, and a computer readable storage medium having computer readable instructions stored thereon for execution by the processor, forming; (a11) a metadata storage module, storing metadata associated with the document, the metadata comprising one or more attributes of the document; (b11) a security policy configuration module, configuring security access policies to be applied to documents in the document management system, comprising specifying one or more metadata rules governing application of security access policies to the documents, comprising specifying a dynamic metadata, which is dynamically retrieved based on external content analysis of the document performed outside the document management system, comprising the metadata not inferred from contents of the document; and (c11) a security policy determination module, determining the security access policy to be applied to the document to be added to the document management system based on said one or more metadata rules and the metadata associated with the document. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
