METHODS FOR MANAGING USER PERMISSIONS

Abstract:

Provided herein are methods for remotely managing user permissions through computing device comprising an index server in communication with a user interface executing on a second computing device and file server(s) comprising data objects wherein the file server is a third computing device different from the first and second computing devices. The index server comprises data structures containing information on user permission access to data objects that are stored on the index server. The index server communicates with the user interface to receive instructions for changes to user permission access levels and accesses its data structures and/or change logs to respond to such communications. The index server also communicates with the file server to execute the changes to the user permission access level for a user associated with a data object at the local level.
