Abstract
Nested namespaces for selective content sharing.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by a content management system, a request from a user account to mount a first namespace to a particular path in a second namespace in the content management system, wherein the user account has access to the second namespace;
- identifying, by the content management system, a first mount lock associated with the first namespace and a second mount lock associated with the second namespace, wherein the first mount lock and the second mount lock control access to corresponding namespaces with respect to mounting location changes;
- determining, by the content management system, that a set of one or more constraints associated with the first mount lock and the second mount lock is satisfied;
- and
- based on the set of one or more constraints being satisfied, mounting, by the content management system, the first namespace to the particular path in the second namespace.

A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive a request from a user account to mount a first namespace to a particular path in a second namespace in a content management system, wherein the user account has access to the second namespace;
- identify a first mount lock associated with the first namespace and a second mount lock associated with the second namespace, wherein the first mount lock and the second mount lock control access to corresponding namespaces with respect to mounting location changes;
- determine that a set of one or more constraints associated with the first mount lock and the second mount lock is satisfied;
- and
- based on the set of one or more constraints being satisfied, mount the first namespace to the particular path in the second namespace.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, the instructions, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to:
- receive a request from a user account to mount a first namespace to a particular path in a second namespace in a content management system, wherein the user account has access to the second namespace;
- identify a first mount lock associated with the first namespace and a second mount lock associated with the second namespace, wherein the first mount lock and the second mount lock control access to corresponding namespaces with respect to mounting location changes;
- determine that a set of one or more constraints associated with the first mount lock and the second mount lock is satisfied;
- and
- based on the set of one or more constraints being satisfied, mount the first namespace to the particular path in the second namespace.
