Abstract: Content management systems are implemented according to a multitenant architecture by which software and its supporting architecture serves multiple customers of a service. Each tenant may be given a share of the application's data, configuration, user management, and other aspects of the application. Each tenant's data is isolated and typically remains invisible to other tenants so that tenants do not share or see each other's data. Embodiments described herein provide mechanisms by which a tenant can delegate administrator rights to an external user such that the external user can grant other users access to the tenant's content while the tenant controls the level of access that is provided to the external users.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, medium, and system for global deadlock detection in a hybrid database for transactional and analytical workloads are disclosed. In one computer-implemented method, a daemon is launched on a coordinator segment in a massively parallel processing (MPP) database, where the MPP database is a hybrid database for both transactional workloads and analytical workloads. A respective local wait-for graph for each of a plurality of segments in the MPP database is collected periodically, where each of the plurality of segments includes the coordinator segment or a worker segment of a plurality of worker segments in the MPP database. A global wait-for graph that includes all collected local wait-for graphs is built. The global wait-for graph is used to determine that a global deadlock exists in the MPP database. The global deadlock is broken using one or more predefined policies in response to determining that the global deadlock exists.
