Systems and methods for controlling subscribed access to data

摘要

Embodiments are directed to providing a plurality of data provisioning tiers for datasets and to throttling access to dataset data based on the dataset's data provisioning tiers. In an embodiment, a computer system receives an input that specifies a maximum number of queries that a user is allowed to perform on a given dataset over a specified period of time. The computer system generates data provisioning tiers for the dataset based on the received input. Each data provisioning tier indicates a maximum number of queries that the user is allowed to perform on a given dataset over a specified period of time. The computer system also applies the generated data provisioning tiers to the dataset so that the user is limited to the maximum number of queries specified in the data provisioning tier.

1. A computing system comprising:
at least one processor; and one or more storage medium having stored computer-executable instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, implement a method for throttling access to dataset data based on the dataset's data provisioning tiers, wherein the method includes:
an act of receiving a query from a user for a specified dataset;an act of determining which data provisioning tiers have been associated with the specified dataset;an act of accessing one or more portions of user data corresponding to the user to determine which data provisioning tiers the user is subscribed to;based on the determined data provisioning tier, an act of further determining that the received user query has exceeded the user's allowed maximum number of queries over a specified time period; andbased on the further determination, an act of throttling the received user query, such that the user has limited access to the specified dataset.
