Methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for providing access to content of a web-based collection, which includes receiving content from at least two users authorized to provide content. A request is received from another user to view content in the web-based collection, the another user not authorized to provide content to the web-based collection. A determination is made as to whether the another user is associated with either of the two users. If so, the another user is enabled to view any content on the web-based collection. If not, the another user is prevented from viewing any content on the web-based collection. The another user is determined to be associated with one of the two users based on the one of the two users selecting the another user as having a relationship to the one of the two users on a social network website. |

receiving, by a processor as output by an administrator of the web-based collection, a list of users who are authorized to provide content onto a website, the list of users including a first group and a second group; receiving, by the processor, a request from a first user to provide selected content to the website; determining, by the processor, whether the first user making the request is on the list of users, and if so, allowing the first user to provide selected content to the website; receiving, by the processor, a request from a second user to view the content on the website; determining, by the processor, whether the second user is on the list of users or is associated with any user on the list of users, wherein determining that the second user is associated with any user on the list of users includes determining that the second user is within a first degree of association with any user in the first group or within a second degree of association with any user in the second group, wherein determining that the second user is associated with any user on the list of users includes the administrator of the web based collection using a user interface to set a value corresponding to the first degree of association and the second degree of association for each user on the list of authorized users, and wherein the value can be set by the administrator of the web-based collection to be any integer number; and if the determining is that the second user is on the list of users or is associated with any user on the list of users, allowing the second user to view the content on the website, and if not, disallowing the second user to view the content on the website. |
