Information processing system, information processing method, and non-transitory computer readable medium

An information processing method comprising:

• managing information on an object of which at least one of a parent and a child is defined;
• accepting a reading request for a to-be-provided object being managed, the request including designation of an authority object that is an object with which authority information is associated;
• and
• providing information on the to-be-provided object, on the basis of a result of comparison of authority between an owner object that is an object approving the authority information and an object that is a parent of the authority object,
• wherein the providing provides, for a data item not included in the to-be-provided object, information on a data item of an ancestor object included in a series that recursively traces a parent of the to-be-provided object and further a parent thereof.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

• accepting a reading request for a to-be-provided object being managed, the request including designation of an authority object that is an object with which authority information is associated;
• and
• providing information on the to-be-provided object, on the basis of a result of comparison of authority between an owner object that is an object approving the authority information and an object that is a parent of the authority object,
• wherein the providing provides, for a data item not included in the to-be-provided object, information on a data item of an ancestor object included in a series that recursively traces a parent of the to-be-provided object and further a parent thereof.
