HIERARCHICAL PERMISSIONS MODEL WITHIN A DOCUMENT

摘要

Case management systems and techniques are disclosed. In various embodiments, a hierarchical document permission model is received, the model describing a document hierarchy comprising a plurality of hierarchically related document nodes and defining for each of at least a subset of said document nodes one or more document roles and for each such role one or more document permissions with respect to that document node. The hierarchical document permission model is used to determine and enforce permissions with respect to case management instances to which the hierarchical document permission model applies.

1. A method of managing permissions, comprising:
receiving at a processor a hierarchical document permission model, the hierarchical document permission model describing a document hierarchy comprising a plurality of document nodes that are hierarchically related, defining for each of at least a subset of said plurality of document nodes one or more document roles, and defining for each such document role of the one or more document roles one or more document permissions with respect to that document node, wherein the hierarchical document permission model associates the one or more document permissions with respect to that document node with a condition comprising a specified state; and using by the processor the hierarchical document permission model to determine and enforce permissions with respect to case management instances to which the hierarchical document permission model applies, wherein using the hierarchical document permission model includes adjusting the one or more document permissions associated with respect to that document node in response to a change associated with the specified state of that document node of the plurality of hierarchically related document nodes.
