Content management device and content management method

A content management method performed by a content management device, comprising the steps of:

• acquiring folder level access control information indicating access rights of a user to a folder where content is stored, from a folder level access control information storage unit;
• acquiring content level access control information indicating access rights of a user to content, from a content level access control unit;
• outputting display data for displaying a hierarchical structure between at least one folder and at least one content stored in the at least one folder, along with information indicating whether or not an inconsistency has occurred in access rights between the folder level access control information of the at least one folder and the content level access control information of the content stored in the at least one folder;
• receiving an operation for causing access rights of content for which an inconsistency has occurred in access rights to coincide with access rights of content which is stored in the same folder as the content and for which an inconsistency has not occurred in access rights;
• and
• outputting instructions for updating the content level access control information of the content for which an inconsistency has occurred in access rights such that the access rights of the content for which an inconsistency has occurred in access rights coincide with the access rights of the content for which an inconsistency has not occurred in access rights, in response to the operation.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program for causing a content management device to realize:

• a function for storing folder level access control information indicating access rights of a user to a folder where content is stored;
• a function for acquiring content level access control information indicating access rights of a user to content, from a prescribed content level access control unit;
• a function for outputting display data for displaying a hierarchical structure between at least one folder and at least one content stored in the at least one folder, along with information indicating whether or not an inconsistency has occurred in access rights between the folder level access control information of the at least one folder and the content level access control information of the content stored in the at least one folder;
• a function for receiving an operation for causing access rights of content for which an inconsistency has occurred in access rights to coincide with access rights of content which is stored in the same folder as the content and for which an inconsistency has not occurred in access rights;
• and
• a function for outputting instructions for updating the content level access control information of the content for which an inconsistency has occurred in access rights such that the access rights of the content for which an inconsistency has occurred in access rights coincide with the access rights of the content for which an inconsistency has not occurred in access rights, in response to the operation.
