Patent ID: 11226943

Abstract:
A distribution network may efficiently communicate items/item details in a private manner, with different access rights tailored to various tenants residing within a same or different customer landscape. A first input comprising a flat file with items/item details, is received. A second input comprising permissions entries for per-user, per-item direct access rights (e.g., view, read, write, delete) is also received. The first and second inputs are recursively processed to find nearest ancestors having the direct access rights, with a hash maintained including the nearest ancestors. An effective permitted structure (e.g., tree comprising root and leaf nodes) is generated by recursively adding descendant items having inherited access rights, to the nearest ancestors. Ultimately, descendant item(s) are privately distributed to a user with an access right according to the effective permitted structure. Embodiments may be particularly suited to the private distribution of analytics content (e.g., dimensions, stories, views) to various tenants.
