Granular Form Data Authorization for Enterprise Security

The patent segments the authorization object from the form level down to the form data level. Instead of authorizing the entire form as a single unit, the system divides authorization into granular units (form data pieces) that can be independently controlled. This segmentation enables selective authorization of specific data pieces while maintaining the ability to authorize forms as wholes when needed, thus resolving the contradiction between authorization flexibility and information security.

The patent implements local quality by allowing different authorization settings for different pieces of form data within the same form. Each form data piece can have its own authorization configuration, enabling fine-grained control over who can access or modify specific data. This local differentiation resolves the contradiction by providing both broad authorization capabilities (for entire forms) and precise control (for individual data pieces) simultaneously.

The patent extracts the core authorization logic from complex role-based access control mechanisms and implements a simplified authorization model focused on form data operations. By taking out only the essential permission management functions needed for form data and eliminating unnecessary complexity, the system achieves standardized permission management while reducing system complexity and error susceptibility.

Instead of following the conventional approach of building complex role hierarchies and permission matrices, the patent inverts the approach by starting with simple form data authorization and building upward. The system authorizes specific form data pieces first, then aggregates these into form-level and system-level permissions, simplifying the overall authorization structure while maintaining standardization.
