Project Asset Sharing via URI Access Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional techniques for granting and retracting access to project assets and preferences in collaborative content-creation environments are cumbersome, requiring administrative members to manually download and manage assets and settings, which is inconvenient for both administrators and team members.
Innovation Solution
A project sharing service that allows administrative members to easily assign and retract access to project assets and preferences using drag-and-drop inputs via an admin user interface, generating uniform resource identifiers (URIs) for members to access project assets and preferences through content-creation applications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If administrative members manually download and manage assets and settings using conventional techniques, then access control to project assets and preferences is achieved, but the process becomes cumbersome and inconvenient for both administrators and team members
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a project sharing service as an intermediary between administrative members and team members. This service automatically handles asset and preference sharing, eliminating the need for manual downloading and management. The service receives requests from administrative members, identifies the appropriate assets and preferences, and provides them to team members through uniform resource identifiers, thereby simplifying the overall process while maintaining security and control.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by allowing team members to automatically receive and access project assets and preferences without requiring administrative intervention for each individual asset. The project sharing service automatically identifies and provides the necessary assets and preferences based on project membership, reducing the operational burden on administrative members while ensuring proper access control.
2Productivity
If administrative members manually manage project assets and preferences, then access control is maintained, but time is lost due to manual processes requiring physical presence or remote access
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by having the project sharing service pre-identify and prepare project assets and preferences before they are needed by team members. When a team member joins a project or needs access to assets, the service has already organized the necessary resources with uniform resource identifiers, enabling immediate access without manual intervention or time-consuming administrative processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical manual processes of downloading, copying, and managing assets with an automated digital system. The project sharing service uses uniform resource identifiers and automated identification processes to substitute the manual mechanical actions of administrative members, thereby eliminating the need for physical presence or remote access while significantly improving productivity and reducing time loss.
3Adaptability or versatility
If project assets and preferences are shared with team members, then collaboration is enhanced, but security risks increase if access is not properly controlled
Solution Approach 1:
The project sharing service acts as a secure intermediary that controls and monitors all access to project assets and preferences. It maintains security by requiring administrative members to initiate sharing requests and by using uniform resource identifiers that provide controlled access paths. The service automatically manages the distribution of assets and preferences only to authorized team members, thereby enabling collaboration while maintaining security and reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of access control from manual permission settings to automated uniform resource identifier-based access. This parameter change enables the system to dynamically control who can access which assets and preferences based on project membership, thereby enhancing collaboration capability while maintaining security through automated parameter-based access control rather than manual permission management.
Data Source
AI summary
Project asset and preference sharing techniques are described. In one or more embodiments, a request is received to assign a project asset or preference to a member of a team. The received request includes an identifier of a project for which the project asset or preference will be assigned. To assign the asset or preference specified in the request, a list of teams to which the member belongs is ascertained. The assets and preferences associated with each of the teams are then checked for the identifier to identify the project assets and preferences associated with the project. Once the project assets and preferences associated with the project are identified, a response is generated for communication to the member. The response is configured to include indications of the identified project assets and preferences that enable the member to access the identified project assets and preferences via the application, such that the member is also given access to the assigned project asset or preference.
