Abstract: An apparatus for providing object privilege modification may include a processor. The processor may be configured to receive an indication to modify at least one privilege associated with an object. The processor may be further configured to modify the at least one privilege associated with the object based at least in part on the indication and update a policy file based at least in part on the modified privilege associated with the object. The processor may be additionally configured to provide for an output of the object based at least in part on the modified privilege associated with the object. Associated methods and computer program products may also be provided.

Abstract: An approach is presented for providing rights management at file system level. A virtual file system rights management application receives a request to access a protected file. The rights management application binds the access request to the protected file in the file system, determines credentials associated with the request for accessing the protected file according to the binding and causes, at least in part, verification of the credentials according to a rights management system associated with the protected file. Based, at least in part, on the determination, the rights management application causes decryption of the protected content.
