Efficient data structures for multi-dimensional security

A computer-readable storage device having computer-executable instructions encoded thereon for providing multi-dimensional security, the instructions comprising:

• displaying a graphical user interface for:
• actuating models associated with a model site, wherein the models include a dimension that indicates a data category, and the dimension includes one of:
• a static dimension permission that locks the permissions of the dimension from customization and a dynamic dimension permission that allows permissions to be customized;
• associating a group role with one of the models, wherein the group role includes a group permission for accessing the model, and the group permission for the group role is set by a graphical interface that includes options for setting the group permission to:
• a low permission that specifies read and write access;
• a medium permission that specifies read access and no write access, and a high permission that specifies no read/write access;
• associating a user with the model, wherein the user is a member of the group role, and the user includes a user permission for accessing the model;
• and
• displaying a permission customization selector for receiving customization to the user permission, wherein the user permission is associated with the group permission.

A system for providing multi-dimensional security, the instructions comprising:

• a display;
• a processor;
• and
• a memory having computer executable instructions stored thereon, wherein the computer executable instructions, comprise:
• displaying a graphical user interface for configuring multi-dimensional security for models having dimensions that are associated with a model site, the graphical user interface configured to:
• associate a group role with a model by receiving a selection of what models and what dimensions are to be associated with the group role;
• receive a selection for setting a default group permission for the group role between a low permission and a high permission when determined;
• associate a user with the model and the dimensions that includes a user permission for accessing data associated with the model and the dimensions;
• and
• display a permission customization selector that, when selected, enables receiving customizations to the user permission, wherein the user permission is associated with the default group permission.
