  • Publication number: 20240362190
    Abstract: A computer system provides shared access to electronic data assets. The system may perform operations including: receiving, from a first user, a request to access a shared data asset, wherein: the shared data asset is associated with a shared data asset object, and the shared data asset object identifies at least a second user authorized to approve sharing of the shared data asset; in response to receiving the request from the first user: generating a data access request object including at least an identification of the first user and an identification of the shared data asset object; and providing an indication of the data access request object to the second user associated with the shared data asset object; receiving, from the second user, an approval of the request; and in response to receiving the approval of the request from the second user: granting the first user access to the shared data asset associated with the shared data asset object.

  • Publication number: 20230316243
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to method, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media for building accounts of a digital system using one or more improved graphical user interfaces. For example, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems provide a consolidated graphical user interface for applying for multiple user accounts simultaneously utilizing application information received via an enrollment workflow. In some cases, upon application to the multiple accounts, the disclosed system creates at least one account and puts a hold on at least one other account until one or more additional requirements are met. Further, the disclosed systems can provide a graphical user interface that facilitates funding of an account by, for example, supplying options corresponding to suggested transfer amounts determined from user account characteristics.
