Building data platform with graph based permissions

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a processing circuit, from a system, a request to read a portion of a building graph of a building, the building graph including a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges, the plurality of nodes representing entities of the building and the plurality of edges representing relationships between the entities of the building;
• determining, by the processing circuit, that the system has permission to read the portion of the building graph based on one or more nodes of the plurality of nodes and one or more edges of the plurality of edges, wherein the building graph represents the permission to read the portion of the building graph within the building graph itself via the one or more nodes and the one or more edges;
• and
• providing, by the processing circuit, the portion of the building graph to the system in response to a determination that the system has permission to read the portion of the building graph.

One or more storage medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• receive, from a system, a request to read a portion of a building graph of a building, the building graph including a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges, the plurality of nodes representing entities of the building and the plurality of edges representing relationships between the entities of the building;
• determine that the system has permission to read the portion of the building graph based on one or more nodes of the plurality of nodes and one or more edges of the plurality of edges, wherein the building graph represents the permission to read the portion of the building graph within the building graph itself via the one or more nodes and the one or more edges;
• and
• provide the portion of the building graph to the system in response to a determination that the system has permission to read the portion of the building graph.
