A role mapping method for a collaborative computing environment, the method comprising:
- storing, by a computer processor, in a database of a computing system a generic set of permissions of a generic named permission set, the generic named permission set defining access to a generic business component;
- and
- mapping, by the computer processor, the named permission set to multiple different abstract roles for multiple different business component instances in multiple different collaborative computing communities having different objectives in the collaborative computing environment executing in the memory by the computer system, wherein the multiple different abstract roles in the multiple different collaborative computing communities have certain similar characteristics.
