System and method for harvesting electronically stored content by custodian

摘要

A system and method for harvesting electronically stored content by custodian is provided. Content associated with user names (53, 54) for one or more custodians is maintained in a collaboration environment. A custodian list (51) with names (53, 54) of at least a portion of the custodians is received. Access reports each having user names (53, 54) and associated unique identifiers (64) for the custodians with access to the content within a collaboration environment are obtained. One or more of the user names (53, 54) are mapped with at least one of the custodians by comparing the list (51) of custodians to the access reports and by determining a selected user name (55) for the at least one custodian. The content associated with the at least one custodian is identified using the selected user name.
