Patent ID: 8909673

Claim:
In a hierarchical access permissions environment, a method for enabling efficient management of project-wise permissions, the method comprising using at least one processor and at least one memory comprising computer code for: maintaining project-wise lists of unstructured network objects access permissions to which cannot be managed together via either a hierarchical folder structure or a single unstructured network object, wherein each of the unstructured network objects being distinctly different from one another and being represented by a link corresponding to at least one structured object stored on a disparate computing system; the access permissions to the unstructured network objects not being extracted by an unstructured network object from another unstructured network object; employing the project-wise lists of the unstructured network objects to allow a common owner of the unstructured network objects to make project-wise changes in the access permissions to the unstructured network objects without the need to individually modify access permissions to individual ones of the unstructured network objects; and in response to the changes being made in the unstructured network objects, propagating the changes to the at least one structured object stored on the disparate computing system.
