Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system of managing user security permissions for access to resources accessible over a communications network, to participate in a designated task or conversation relating to the resources. The method and system include: assembling resources relating to the designated task or conversation into a collection and allocating security permissions for users to access said resources in the collection over the network based on whether the users are active or passive participants in the task or the conversation. Active participants have been invited to participate in the task or the conversation and passive participants have not been invited to participate in the task or the conversation, and security permissions allocated for each of the users to access said resources in the collection to the providers of the resources are communicated, such that the providers set the security permissions for each of the users to access the resources.

Abstract: A computer implemented method and system of managing information for user participation is provided. The system and method includes assembling data indicative of information created by users participating in a designated task or conversation into a collection, generating a collection identifier for the collection and connecting the collection to a further collection if the information created by the users is related to information assembled within the further collection. An edge connection in association with the collection identifier is generated and a further collection identifier generated for the further collection. The collection and the further collection are then outputted for the users to participate in the task or the conversation based on the collection identifier for the collection and the edge connection.
