Abstract

A computer system for authorizing a user to process data received from one or more devices includes: an interface component for receiving the data; an application component for receiving requests from the user, the requests including one or more requests to perform data processing operations on at least a subset of the data; a data storage and data access component for storing and access the data; one or more evaluation components for processing the data; and an authorization component for granting or denying to the user access to process at least a subset of the data, a grant or denial being based on user specific data stored in a user directory for a registered user. The user specific data includes data on a geographical location associated with the user and data on a type of a device to which type the user is authorized to get access.
