Publication number: 20240119048Abstract: A method for real-time analytical queries of a documents store is provided. The method includes receiving a query and an access control list associated with a user, the query requesting content managed by a content management system. The method further includes generating an execution plan based on the query and the access control list. The method further includes constraining, based on the execution plan, possible results returned from the query using a content index of a plurality of content items maintained in a repository of the content management system. The constraining includes limiting the at least one processor from adding a content item of the plurality of content items to a permissions-filtered results set based on the access control list identifying the user as not having permission to access the content item. The method further includes aggregating the permissions-filtered results set and returning the aggregated permissions-filtered results set.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Joel Bernstein, Michael Suzuki, John Newton
