SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DYNAMIC GRANULAR ACCESS PERMISSIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18530505 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DYNAMIC GRANULAR ACCESS PERMISSIONS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an application for dynamic, granular access permissions, including a database interface, a user interface, a login process, an administrator, an event handler, and an authorization process.

  • Database interface: Interface to an access control permissions database storing roles, actions, and policies for users.
  • User interface: Interface where users interact with the application and access control permissions are displayed.
  • Login process: Authenticates users and assigns default access control permissions.
  • Administrator: Provides access control permissions to users through the database interface.
  • Event handler: Dynamically modifies access to functionality based on events.
  • Authorization process: Determines if a user's request is authorized before processing, using permissions from the administrator.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in various industries such as cybersecurity, healthcare, finance, and government sectors where access control and permissions are crucial.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of ensuring secure and controlled access to sensitive information and functionalities within an application.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include enhanced security, improved user experience, customizable access control, and dynamic permission management.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Dynamic Access Permissions Application: Enhancing Security and User Experience"

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include existing access control systems, permission management tools, and authentication processes.

Unanswered Questions

How does the application handle conflicts between different access control permissions?

The application may have a predefined hierarchy or rules to resolve conflicts between conflicting permissions.

Can the application track and audit changes made to access control permissions over time?

The application may have a logging feature to track and audit all changes made to access control permissions for accountability and security purposes.


Original Abstract Submitted

An application for dynamic, granular access permissions can include a database interface, a user interface, a login process, an administrator, an event handler and an authorization process. The database interface can be an interface to an access control permissions database that stores roles, actions, or policies for users of the application. The login process can authenticate a user and determine a default set of access control permissions for that user when they are using the user interface. The administrator can provide access control permissions for a user by using the database interface. The event handler can dynamically modify access to functionality in the user interface based on an event. The authorization process can determine whether a request from the user interface is authorized before process the request. The authorization process can use access control permissions from the administrator and either a scope limited or a temporally limited access permission.
