Document Sharing Permission Continuity Across Associated Documents
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing online meeting document sharing systems revoke access permissions for participants when the sharer switches from one document to an associated document, leading to poor user experience and document sharing effects.
Innovation Solution
A method for permission processing that grants access permissions to participants in a specified group for both the target shared document and associated documents during a document sharing cycle, maintaining these permissions even when the sharer navigates between documents, and revoking them only at the end of the cycle.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If access permission is granted to participants when a document is shared, then participants can access the shared document, but the access permission is revoked when the sharer switches to an associated document, causing poor document sharing effects
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by granting access permissions to participants not only for the currently shared document but also for associated documents (parent documents, child documents, sibling documents) before the sharer actually navigates to them. This anticipatory permission granting ensures that when participants view associated documents, their access is already established, preventing interruptions and maintaining reliable document sharing throughout the navigation process.
2Ease of operation
If access permission is maintained for the target shared document when the sharer jumps to an associated document, then participants can continue viewing the target document, but the system complexity increases due to tracking multiple document relationships
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the document access permission into multiple independent permission grants, one for each associated document type (parent document, child document, sibling document). Instead of managing a single complex permission state, the system creates separate permission records for each document relationship, simplifying the tracking and management of access rights across the document hierarchy.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present disclosure relates to a method, apparatus, device and medium for permission processing. The method comprises: in response to a start of a document sharing cycle, granting each second user in a specified group an access permission to a target shared document upon monitoring that a first user shares the target shared document to the specified group; in response to monitoring that a client interface of the first user jumps from the target shared document to display an associated document of the target shared document, maintaining the access permission to the target shared document for the second user and maintaining an access permission to the associated document for the second user; and in response to an end of the document sharing cycle, revoking the access permission which is owned by the second user during the document sharing cycle.
