Abstract
A method and system are provided for enabling collaborative access to a data object. The method comprises establishing an access control policy, the access control policy defining at least one collaborative condition under which access to the data object is permissible, monitoring a plurality of users for compliance with the collaborative condition and providing access to the data object after a predetermined number of the users meet the at least one collaborative condition.
Claims28
A method for enabling collaborative access to a data object, comprising:
- establishing an access control policy, the access control policy defining at least one collaborative condition under which access to the data object is permissible;
- monitoring a plurality of users for compliance with the collaborative condition;
- and
- providing access to the data object after a predetermined number of the users meet the at least one collaborative condition, wherein the collaborative condition comprises:
- a) the use of a predefined device by each user;
- and/or
- b) the use of a predefined application by each user.
A system for enabling collaborative access to a data object, comprising processing means configured to:
- establish an access control policy, the access control policy defining at least one collaborative condition under which access to the data object is permissible;
- monitor a plurality of users for compliance with the collaborative condition;
- and
- provide access to the data object after a predetermined number of the users meet the at least one collaborative condition, wherein the collaborative condition comprises:
- a) the use of a predefined device by each user;
- or
- b) the use of a predefined application by each user.
A method for enabling collaborative access to a data object, comprising:
- establishing an access control policy, the access control policy specifying at least one collaborative condition under which access to the data object is permissible and:
- a) predefined devices;
- b) one or more predefined applications;
- or
- c) predefined constituent data sets, wherein the data object comprises the constituent data sets;
- monitoring a plurality of the devices, applications or constituent data sets for compliance with the collaborative condition;
- and
- providing access to the data object after a predetermined number of the devices, applications or constituent data sets meet the at least one collaborative condition.
