A method of accessing and managing content in a network based on unique standardized hierarchal identifications, the method comprising:
- receiving a notification that a first electronic device has joined the network, the first electronic device associated with a first unique standardized hierarchal identification in a plurality of unique standardized hierarchal identifications, each unique standardized hierarchal identification comprising a plurality of hierarchal sections, each hierarchal section identifying a subsection in a plurality of hierarchal subsections of the network;
- assigning a first plurality of temporarily owned profiles to the first electronic device to access and manage content in the network, wherein each profile in the first plurality of temporarily owned profiles is associated with one hierarchal section in the plurality of hierarchal sections of the first unique standardized hierarchal identification of the first electronic device, wherein a temporarily owned profile associated with a lowest level in the first unique standardized hierarchal identification is associated with the first electronic device, wherein each profile associated with a hierarchical level other than the lowest hierarchical level is associated with a hierarchical subsection of the network, wherein a first temporarily owned profile in the plurality of temporarily owned profiles assigned to the first electronic device comprises a customized content added to the first temporarily owned profile by a previous temporary owner of the first temporarily owned profile, wherein the previous temporary owner of the first temporarily owned profile is not associated with the first electronic device;
- receiving a set of customized content from the first electronic device to add to the first temporarily owned profile;
- determining whether the first electronic device is authorized to append the set of customized content to the first temporarily owned profile;
- appending the set of customized content to the first temporarily owned profile in response to determining that the first electronic device is authorized to append the customized content to the first temporarily owned profile;
- at a display of the first electronic device, displaying hierarchal identifications of a plurality of profiles associated with a plurality of electronic devices other than the first electronic device, each electronic device in the plurality of electronic devices associated with a hierarchal identification comprising at least one hierarchal section common with a hierarchal section of the hierarchal identification of the first electronic device;
- receiving a set of one or more requests from the first electronic device to make the content in the first temporarily owned profile visible to a first subset of electronic devices in the plurality of electronic devices and invisible to a second subset of electronic devices in the plurality of electronic devices;
- and
- making the content in the first temporarily owned profile visible to the first subset of electronic devices and invisible to the second subset of electronic devices in response to the receiving the set of one or more requests from the first electronic device.
