  • Publication number: 20130145028
    Abstract: A system, computer-implemented method, and computer-readable medium manage access control for a magazine edition. A set of roles are assembled that correspond to a principal. Each role defines a set of rules that specify access permissions to the magazine edition, defined at an edition level, a section level and a post level. A set of user access permissions is built, based on the access permissions. An access request is received from the principal, wherein the access request requires a set of necessary access permissions to be granted, defined at an edition level, a section level and a post level. It is determined if the set of user access permissions provides the necessary access permissions. When the user access permissions provide the necessary access permissions, the access request is granted, and otherwise the necessary access permissions, the access request is denied.
