1. A computer-implemented method to manage activities and resources of an organization on a rule-based platform, including allowing a user to access, view, and modify organizational resources, the organizational resources including an organizational task, a team, individual users, and/or a direct report, the method of managing based on an evaluation of attributes of at least the organizational resource by at least one rule controlling the activity to determine if the user is allowed to perform the activity, the method comprising:
storing a representation of at least one organization's structure in memory, the representation including layers of separate but integrated authority structures including
an organizational authority hierarchy layer mapping an organizational chart of the organization within which authority is granted to the user to perform certain activities including accessing, viewing, and modifying another user based on the relative position of the user to the other user in the organizational authority hierarchy layer as determined by a dynamic real time evaluation of attributes of the other user and, when the user and the other user are not directly connected in the organizational chart, the dynamic real time evaluation also including attributes of intervening members in the organizational authority hierarchy layer,a team authority hierarchy layer within which authority to perform certain activities including accessing, viewing, and modifying a team is granted to the user based on a real time evaluation of the attributes of the team that may include a team manager and/or team member attributes of the team, anda task authority structure layer within which authority to perform certain activities including accessing, viewing, and modifying a task is granted to the user based on a real time evaluation of the attributes of the task that may include a task manager and/or task performer attributes of the task,each of the layers overlap and create the integrated authority structure by which the at least one rule of each activity dynamically evaluates attributes from any combination of layers at real time to determine if an activity is allowed by the user; identifying, by a processor, at least the attributes evaluated by the at least one rule of the activity; evaluating, by the processor, the identified attributes, according to the at least one rule of the activity, to determine if the activity is allowed by the user; granting, by the processor, authority to perform the activity to the user according to the at least one rule evaluating the attributes of at least the resource the user is attempting to interact with to determine if the requested activity is allowed by the user based at least on a relationship of the user to the respective task, team, individual user and/or direct report in the integrated authority structure of the rule based platform as defined by the attributes of the respective task, team, individual user and/or direct report; and executing, by the processor, the allowed requested activity according to authority granted to the user.
