Abstract: Various embodiments of a method, system and article of manufacture resolve access to a specific principal on a particular resource. A set of candidate access rights to at least one principal on at least one resource is determined based on at least one grant. Any candidate access right for which there is another candidate access right to a same principal on a resource which is closer to the particular resource along a same route is eliminated from the said set of candidate access rights. Any candidate access right for which there is another candidate access right on a same resource to a principal which is closer to the specific principal along a same route is eliminated from the set of candidate access rights. Access is provided in accordance with a most permissive access level of the set of candidate access rights.

Abstract: Provided are a method, system and program for providing additional hierarchical information for an object displayed in a tree view in a hierarchical relationship with other objects. A representation of the hierarchical arrangement of the objects is displayed. Selection is received of one object in the displayed hierarchical arrangement and a determination is made as to whether a table is associated with the selected object. The table associated with the selected object is displayed in response to determining that the table is associated with the selected object.

Abstract: Provided is a graphical user interface (GUI) to associate information with an object. Different views are maintained providing different hierarchical arrangements of a set of objects. Selection is received of one view and one object in the selected view. Information is associated with the selected object, wherein the associated information is accessible in all views in which the object with which the information is associated is accessible.

Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and program for generating a tree view of elements in a graphical user interface (GUI). Hierarchical information is processed including information on elements at different hierarchical levels. A tree view is generated in response to processing the hierarchical information enabled to be displayed in a graphical user interface (GUI) including graphical indicators representing elements at different hierarchical levels. In the tree view for at least one hierarchical level, graphical indicators for a subset of the elements at the hierarchical level and a graphical paging control enabling user selection of one of a plurality subset of elements at the hierarchical level are generated. In the tree view, graphical indicators representing elements in a selected subset of elements at one hierarchical level are generated in response to selection of the selected subset through the graphical paging control.
