Abstract:
1. A method comprising: identifying, by a processing device, relationships among groups of users in a user directory; identifying, by the processing device, relationships among folders in a content repository; receiving, by the processing device, an access log that includes records; analyzing, by the processing device, the records in the access log to identify similarities between the records based on relationships between the groups of users identified in the records and relationships between folders identified in the records; using, by the processing device, the identified similarities to determine at least one of an affinity folder or an affinity group, wherein the affinity folder is a folder that is most frequently accessed by a first user group, and wherein the affinity group is a group that most frequently accesses a folder among the folders in the content repository; calculating, by the processing device, at least one of a user to group distance or a folder to folder distance based on the identified similarities, wherein the folder to folder distance is a distance between a specific folder accessed by the first user group and the affinity folder for the first user group, and the user to group distance is a distance between the first user group accessing the specific folder and the affinity group for the specific folder; and generating, by the processing device, permissions-recommendations according to the at least one of the user to group distance or the folder to folder distance.
