Securing content using pipelines

A computer implemented method, comprising:

• allocating a portion of one or more computing resources to a pipeline of a plurality of pipelines to transcode content stored in at least one content store;
• enabling a set of permissions to be associated with a subset of a plurality of users, the set of permissions allowing the subset of users to submit transcoding jobs to the pipeline, wherein the set of permissions prevents the subset of users from accessing the content stored in the at least one content store;
• controlling access to submitting the transcoding jobs in the pipeline based at least in part on the set of permissions;
• scheduling the transcoding job to the pipeline in response a determination that the set of permissions is not applicable to a user of the subset of users at a present time but will become applicable to the subset of users at a later time;
• and
• modifying the portion of the one or more computing resources allocated to the pipeline based at least in part on controlling access to submitting the transcoding jobs.

A computing device, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• memory including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing device to:
• allocate a portion of one or more computing resources to a pipeline of a plurality of pipelines to transcode content stored in at least one content store;
• enable a set of permissions to be associated with a subset of a plurality of users, the set of permissions allowing the subset of users to submit transcoding jobs to the pipeline, wherein the set of permissions prevents the subset of users from accessing the content stored in the at least one content store;
• control access to submitting the transcoding jobs in the pipeline based at least in part on the set of permissions;
• schedule the transcoding job to the pipeline in response a determination that the set of permissions is not applicable to a user of the subset of users at a present time but will become applicable to the subset of users at a later time;
• and
• modify the portion of the one or more computing resources allocated to the pipeline based at least in part on controlling access to submitting the transcoding jobs.
