Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for providing discriminated partner system resources to the user of a host system. A host entity has a business relationship with one or more partnered entities. A user accesses the host's system and then uses the host's system to connect to a partner's system. Access from one system to the next is seamless and requires no additional user input to verify the user's access rights to subsequently accessed partners' systems. The content delivered to the user from a partner's system is discriminated from a larger pool of information to appear consistent in appearance, message, or both with the host system. The host system, the partner system or both systems may perform the discrimination functions. The user is thereby provided with seamless access to partnered systems that reflects the business partnership of the host and various partners.
