Patent number: 12238114Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products that provide for an improved, more efficient, and more stable system of networked computing devices. The embodiments disclose an apparatus and system that enable client devices to selectively grant to third party applications permissions to access group-based communication objects of a group-based communication system. The apparatus and system further enable client devices to selectively grant to third party applications permissions to take specific actions with regards to the group-based communication objects within the system. To accomplish the improvements, the disclosed systems, apparatuses, and computing devices maintain a record of the permissions granted to third party applications in a permissions table stored in a computer storage device.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2023Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Meagan Gamache, Diogenes Brito, Buster Benson, Kefan Xie, Paul Matthew Jennings, Christopher Sullivan, Benjamin William Scholey Redman

Publication number: 20240419833Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for securely certifying products in an ecosystem. In some implementations, a digital platform receives a user request to access digital models. The digital platform determines whether the user is authorized to access the digital models. In response, the digital platform generates a transaction request to send to a location of the digital models, wherein the transaction request comprises data identifying operations to perform using the digital models. The digital platform transmits, to the location of the digital models, the generated transaction request that causes execution of the operations. The digital platform receives data representative of a result of the operations performed. The digital platform provides, to a user interface of the user device, the data representative of the result. The digital platform audits the data related to the transaction request and the data representative of the result.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2024Publication date: December 19, 2024Inventors: William Roper, JR., Christopher Benson, Sriram Krishnan, Baha aldeen E.A. Abunojaim, Ellie Daw, Omar Valverde, Mohammad M.Y. Zahra, Peter Galvin, Danne Stayskal Huffaker
