Abstract: A drafting area of a user interface for a sender to compose an electronic communication and a field area of the user interface to receive user input that identifies a recipient of the electronic communication is provided. A user input of a resource locator of a file is received in the user interface. Responsive to receiving the user input of the resource locator of the file in the user interface, a notification area that identifies, for the sender, a plurality of options to modify access rights of the recipient for the file identified in the electronic communication is presented in the user interface. The access rights of the recipient are allowed to be modified by the sender who is not an administrator or an owner of an access control list associated with the file.

Abstract: A method and system is disclosed that provides a drafting area of a user interface for a sender to compose an electronic communication and a field area of the user interface to receive user input that identifies a recipient of the electronic communication. The method and system receive a user input of a resource locator of a file in the user interface. Responsive to receiving the user input of the resource locator of the file in the user interface, the method and system present, in the user interface, a notification area that identifies, for the sender, a plurality of options to modify access rights of the recipient to the file identified in the electronic communication, wherein the access rights of the recipient are allowed to be modified by the sender who is not an administrator or an owner of an access control list associated with the file.

Abstract: A method for modifying access rights to electronically stored files linked in a draft electronic communication stored at a client device includes receiving, at a server from the client device, information relating to a plurality of recipients of the draft electronic communication, information relating to a sender of the draft electronic communication, and a first link, where the first link represents a first file. The method further includes determining, at the server, for the sender and for each recipient in the plurality of recipients, the access rights to the first file. The method further includes generating, at the server, a plurality of options for the sender to modify the access rights for the plurality of recipients, where the plurality of options is based on the access rights to the first file, and sending the plurality of options from the server to the client device.
