Patent number: 11516164Abstract: A request initiated by a first user in a social network to add at least a second user of the social network as a contact of the first user in the social network can be received. A security policy for the second user can be accessed and, based on the security policy, whether the first user is authorized to add the second user as the contact of the first user in the social network without the second user being prompted to approve the request can be determined. Responsive to determining that the first user is authorized to add the second user as the contact of the first user in the social network without prompting the second user to approve the request, the second user can be added as the contact of the first user in the social network without prompting the second user to approve the request.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2017Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: A.

Patent number: 9769100Abstract: A request to add at least a second user of a social network as a contact of a first user in the social network can be received. A social hierarchy indicating a hierarchical relationship between the first user and the second user can be accessed. Based on the hierarchical relationship between the first user and the second user, whether the second user must approve the request in order for the at least second user to be added as the contact of the first user in the social network can be determined. Responsive to determining that it is not required that the at least second user must approve the request in order for the at least second user to be added as the contact of the first user in the social network, the second user can be added as the contact of the first user in the social network without prompting the second user to approve the request.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2017Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: A.
