Abstract
Systems, methods and apparatuses (i.e., utilities) for use in managing access to and use of artifacts (e.g., word or pdf documents, jpegs, and the like) and any copies thereof in an enterprise/cross-enterprise environment. The utility may include a content management system for storing the artifacts and managing use of the artifacts and an information rights management system for use in sealing the artifacts, validating users and granting licenses for use of the artifacts at the directive of the content management system.

A method for use in a content management system (CMS), comprising:
- providing a CMS comprising at least one workspace, the at least one workspace including at least one folder for storing artifacts;
- selecting, from the CMS, at least one sealing policy that mandates encryption of at least one artifact of the CMS upon the at least one sealing policy being satisfied;
- disposing an artifact in the at least one folder;
- determining, with a policy manager associated with a processor on a computer system, whether the at least one sealing policy has been satisfied;
- and
- sending, from the CMS, a request to an information rights management (IRM) system to seal the artifact in response to a determination that the at least one sealing policy has been satisfied.
A method for use with a content management system (CMS), comprising:
- receiving, at an information rights management (IRM) server, a request for access to an artifact from a user at a client device, the request including a user ID of the user and a unique identifier of the artifact;
- validating that the user ID is associated with a user in an enterprise directory of a CMS;
- forwarding, from the IRM server, the user ID and the unique identifier to the CMS;
- receiving, from the CMS, information related to at least one type of use of the artifact and/or at least one condition that must be satisfied for the at least one type of use associated with the user ID;
- generating a license for use of the artifact with the artifact, the license associating the information with the user ID and the unique identifier;
- and
- forwarding, from the IRM server, the license to the client device.
A content management system (CMS) for use in granting access to an artifact of an enterprise, comprising
- a processor;
- a content management module run by the processor, the content management module comprising at least one workspace, the at least one workspace including:
- at least one folder for storing artifacts;
- at least one sealing policy that mandates encryption of at least one artifact of the at least one workspace by an information rights management (IRM) system upon the at least one sealing policy being satisfied;
- and
- at least one permission that sets forth at least one type of use of at least one sealed artifact of the at least one workspace by one or more users of the enterprise.
