  • Patent number: 12197598
    Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling cross-tenant access are provided. In particular, a computing device may receive an access request, from a user of a first tenant, requesting access to a resource of a plurality of resources on a shared collaborative channel of a second tenant. The computing device may further evaluate cross-tenant access policies of the first and second tenants to determine that access to the plurality of resources is authorized by the first and second tenants, validate that the user is a member of the shared collaborative channel, and generate a validation token indicating the user is validated to access the plurality of resources. Based on the validation token, the computing device may further validate that the user is in compliance with the cross-tenant access policies for accessing the resource and grant the user a set of permissions to access the resource.

  • Patent number: 11649087
    Abstract: Disclosed are rigid multi-compartment recloseable packages. A package may comprise a rigid tray comprising a product surface to hold food products. The tray may comprise a raised lip along a perimeter of the product surface to laterally secure the food products thereon. The tray may have a tray skirt horizontally extending outward from a top edge of the lip, and dividing features upwardly extending from the product surface to form distinct compartments on the product surface for receiving the food products therein. Furthermore, such an exemplary package also comprises a recloseable rigid lid having an upper surface substantially coextensive with the product surface, and at least one sidewall downwardly extending from the upper surface. The lid may also comprise a lid skirt horizontally extending outward from a bottom edge of the at least one sidewall, where the lid skirt is coextensive and complimentary in shape with the tray skirt.
