  • Patent number: 12549330
    Abstract: The embodiments of the disclosure disclose a method and a system for blockchain access authority control, an apparatus, a program and a medium. The system comprises a plurality of blockchain nodes. For each blockchain node, a corresponding distributed node is further deployed in a node apparatus where the blockchain node is located, and the distributed nodes form a distributed storage system. A first blockchain node receives an access request sent by a first client, determines a possession of a first authority to access the blockchain system by the first client according to role confirmation information, and then determines a distributed node where access content is located from the distributed storage system. After determining a possession of a second authority to access the distributed node where the access content is located by the first client according to authority authentication information, the access content is obtained and returned to the first client.
