Tenant based permission allocation for a graph database

A computing system comprising:

• one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media;
• and
• program instructions stored on the one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media that, when read and executed by a processing system, direct the processing system to at least:
• identify a request to classify a first subgraph in the graph for access by a tenant of the plurality of tenants, wherein the request indicates one or more vertex types and/or one or more edge types for the first subgraph;
• identify one or more vertices and/or one or more edges in the graph to classify as part of the first subgraph based on the indicated one or more vertex types and/or one or more edge types;
• classify the one or more vertices and/or one or more edges as part of the first subgraph;
• and
• allocate permissions to at least one user associated with the tenant to access the first subgraph.

A system comprising:

• a graph storage system configured to store a graph, wherein the graph comprises a plurality of vertices each assigned at least one vertex type of a plurality of vertex types and a plurality of edges each assigned at least one edge type of a plurality of edge types;
• a processing system configured to:
• identify a request to classify a first subgraph in the graph for access by a tenant of a plurality of tenants, wherein the request indicates one or more vertex types and/or one or more edge types for the first subgraph;
• identify one or more vertices and/or one or more edges in the graph to classify as part of the first subgraph based on the indicated one or more vertex types and/or one or more edge types;
• and
• allocate permissions to at least one user associated with the tenant to access the first subgraph.
