Data platform with unified privileges

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• authorizing, by one or more processors, a first user to use an editor to access source code of a user application based on security policies of a security context;
• authorizing, by one or more processors, the first user to use an application and data manager to set usage privileges for a second user to use the user application based on the security policies of the security context;
• and
• providing, by one or more processors, the user application to the second user based on the security policies of the security context by performing operations comprising:
• instantiating a User Defined Function (UDF) server within the security context;
• instantiating an application engine of the UDF server within the security context;
• instantiating the user application as an application of the application engine within the security context;
• and
• authorizing access by the user application to databased on the security policies of the security context.

A computer-storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a machine, configure the machine to perform operations comprising:

• authorizing a first user to use an editor to access source code of a user application based on security policies of a security context;
• authorizing the first user to use an application and data manager to set usage privileges for a second user to use the user application based on the security policies of the security context;
• and
• providing the user application to the second user based on the security policies of the security context by performing operations comprising:
• instantiating a User Defined Function (UDF) server within the security context;
• instantiating an application engine of the UDF server within the security context;
• instantiating the user application as an application of the application engine within the security context;
• and
• authorizing access by the user application to databased on the security policies of the security context.
