Resource grouping for resource dependency system and graphical user interface

A computing system configured for processing and managing a node-based and dependency-based data graph, the system comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute the program instructions to cause the computing system to:
• determine a grouping scheme associated with a visual node graph provided in a graphical user interface, wherein the visual node graph comprises:
• a plurality of nodes, wherein the nodes of the plurality of nodes represent resources;
• and
• one or more directed edges, wherein the directed edges of the one or more directed edges are drawn between respective pairs of nodes of the plurality of nodes and indicate directional dependencies between the pairs of nodes,
• wherein the grouping scheme specifies different node types,
• wherein the node types are based on attributes associated with the resources represented by the nodes, and
• wherein the attributes include permission levels granted to a selected user to access the resources represented by the plurality of nodes,
• wherein the permission levels depend on the selected user;
• determine a display scheme associated with the visual node graph, wherein the display scheme is based, at least in part, on first permission levels granted to a first selected user to access the resources represented by the plurality of nodes and specifies how nodes of different node types are displayed with different visual formats in the visual node graph;
• determine, based on the grouping scheme, a first set of nodes of the plurality of nodes are of a first node type and a second set of nodes of the plurality of nodes are of a second node type;
• display the first set of nodes and the second set of nodes in the visual node graph based on the display scheme;
• and
• update the visual node graph in the graphical user interface by re-arranging the plurality of nodes based on the grouping scheme, such that the first set of nodes are presented as a first cluster and the second set of nodes are presented as a second cluster.

Non-transitory computer-readable media including computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:

• determining a grouping scheme associated with a visual node graph provided in a graphical user interface, wherein the visual node graph comprises:
• a plurality of nodes, wherein the nodes of the plurality of nodes represent resources;
• and
• one or more directed edges, wherein the directed edges of the one or more directed edges are drawn between respective pairs of nodes of the plurality of nodes and indicate directional dependencies between the pairs of nodes,
• wherein the grouping scheme specifies different node types,
• wherein the node types are based on attributes associated with the resources represented by the nodes, and
• wherein the attributes include permission levels granted to a selected user to access the resources represented by the plurality of nodes, wherein the permission levels depend on the selected user;
• determining a display scheme associated with the visual node graph, wherein the display scheme is based, at least in part, on first permission levels granted to a first selected user to access the resources represented by the plurality of nodes and specifies how nodes of different node types are displayed with different visual formats in the visual node graph;
• determining, based on the grouping scheme, a first set of nodes of the plurality of nodes are of a first node type and a second set of nodes of the plurality of nodes are of a second node type;
• displaying the first set of nodes and the second set of nodes in the visual node graph based on the display scheme;
• and
• updating the visual node graph in the graphical user interface by re-arranging the plurality of nodes based on the grouping scheme, such that the first set of nodes are presented as a first cluster and the second set of nodes are presented as a second cluster.
