INTERNAL SOCIAL NETWORK FOR AN ENTERPRISE AND APPLICATIONS THEREOF

摘要

The disclosed embodiments relate to a social networking system for deployment within an enterprise and a method for sharing data among a plurality of users of the enterprise-deployed social networking system. The disclosed system, in order to increase the efficiency of a worker at an enterprise, may provide a database including a plurality of data records. Each data record of the plurality of data records includes data relating to one user of the plurality of users. A permission matrix defining, for each user of the plurality of users, first permissions and second permission is also provided. Upon receipt of a request for a first data record of the plurality of data records, a source of the request is identified, and a portion of the first data record accessible to the identified source of the request is determined using the permission matrix. The portion of the first data record is transmitted to the identified source based on the determination.

1. A method for sharing data among a set of users of an enterprise resource management architecture, the set of users comprising a plurality of user subsets, the method comprising:
providing a database comprising a plurality of data records, each data record of the plurality of data records comprising a data set relating to at least one user subset of the plurality user subsets, the data set comprising a plurality of data subsets, each data subset of the plurality of data subsets being accessible to at least one user subset of the plurality of user subsets; providing a permission matrix defining, for each user of the set of users, first permissions and second permissions, the first permissions defining, for each user subset of the plurality of user subsets, a corresponding data subset of the plurality of data subsets, to which the subset of users has access to view, the second permissions defining, for each user subset of the plurality of user subsets, a corresponding data subset of the plurality of data subsets, to which the subset of users has access to update, the at least one user subset having control of less than all of the first permissions, the second permissions, or combinations thereof; receiving, via a client, a request for a first data record of the plurality of data records, the first data record comprising a data set relating to a first user of the set of users; identifying a source of the request; determining, using the permission matrix, at least a portion of the first data record accessible to the identified source of the request; and transmitting the portion of the first data record to the identified source based on the determination.
