Filtering access to data objects

A method comprising:

• receiving, at a first device, a user request for a portion of source code stored on a second device which does not allow editing;
• establishing an encrypted session with the second device;
• sending the code request in the encrypted session;
• generating a code request for the portion of source code stored on the second device;
• receiving the portion of the source code from the second device if the second determines a user associated with the user request is authorized to access the portion of the source code;
• allowing editing of the portion of the source code through the first device, wherein the source code is not editable on the second device;
• sending the edited portion of the source code to the second device after editing;
• and
• building the portion of source code, wherein a second portion of source code that the user is not authorized to access is used in the build.

An apparatus comprising:

• one or more electronic processors;
• and
• logic encoded in one or more tangible media for execution by the one or more processors configured to:
• receive, at a first device which does not allow editing, a request for a portion of source code stored on the first device from a second device, wherein a user submits the request through the second device;
• authenticate the request from the second device;
• determine if a user associated with the request is authorized to access the portion of the source code from the first device;
• retrieve the portion of the source code;
• send the portion of the source code to the second device, wherein second device allows editing of the portion of the source code, wherein the portion of the source code is not editable on the first device;
• receive, at the first device, an edited portion of the source code from the second device;
• store the edited portion of the source code in the source code;
• and
• build the portion of source code, wherein a second portion of source code that the user is not authorized to access is used in the build.

A non-transitory computer readable medium being configured to store instructions on a storage unit for a distributed computing system having a first device and a second device, the instructions, when executed, are configured to at least cause the first device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, at a first device which does not allow editing, a request for a portion of source code stored on the first device from a second device, wherein the second device facilitates a user to submit the request to the first device, the first device comprising:
• a first attribute that the portion of the source code is not editable on the first device, and
• a second attribute related to a permission for a user to have access to the portion of source code on the first device;
• determining if the user associated with the received request has permission to access the portion of the source code from the first device;
• authenticating the request from the second device;
• upon determining that the user has the permission to access the source code, sending a request to receive the portion of the source code from the first device;
• receiving the portion of the source code from the first device;
• sending the portion of the source code from the first device to the second device, wherein the second device comprises an attribute that permits the portion of the source code to be edited on the second device;
• receiving, at the first device, an edited version of the portion of the source code from the second device;
• storing the edited version of the portion of the source code in the first device;
• and
• compiling, on the first device, the source code and the edited version of the portion of the source code.
