    Abstract: Methods, systems, devices, and tangible non-transitory computer readable media facilitating assignment and/or dynamic application of a permission rule to a group of entities. In an example embodiment, the disclosed technology can: define a group of entities having a common attribute; assign a permission rule to the group of entities based at least in part on the common attribute; project the permission rule onto one or more entities in the group of entities based at least in part on assignment of the permission rule to the group of entities; obtain data indicative of a change in group membership status of an entity in the group of entities; and/or update a projection of the permission rule onto the entity to modify an association of the entity with the group of entities and/or the permission rule based at least in part on receipt of the data.

  • Patent number: 10708323
    Abstract: Systems for managing content in a cloud-based service platform. A server in a cloud-based environment is interfaced with storage devices that hold one or more stored objects accessible by two or more users. The stored objects comprise folders and files as well as other objects such as workflow objects that are associated with the folders or the files. The workflow objects comprise workflow metadata that describes a workflow as a set of workflow tasks to be carried out in a progression. Processing of a workflow task and/or carrying out a portion of the progression includes modification of shared content objects. The processing or modification events are detected through workflow events, which in turn cause one or more workflow responses to be generated. Workflow responses comprise updates to the workflow metadata to record progression through the workflow and/or workflow responses comprise updates to any one or more of the stored objects.
