Abstractions and automation for enhanced sharing and collaboration

A system to facilitate information access control, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a component, implemented using at least one of the one or more processors, configured to receive an access request for a data item owned by a data item owner, the access request being based on a request from a requesting user;
• and
• an access control component, implemented using at least one of the one or more processors, configured to determine whether the requesting user is a member of a dynamically created group of users based on an activity of the requesting user,
• the access control component further configured to dynamically select an access policy based on the dynamically created group of users to which the requesting user is determined to belong,
• the access control component further configured to selectively provide access to the data item to the requesting user based on the access policy and further based on an urgency of the data item.
