MAINTAINING CONSISTENCY WITHIN A FEDERATED CLOUD ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A method includes monitoring a user login to a computer network, receiving a media access control (MAC) address associated with a logged-in user, comparing the MAC address to a table that associates the MAC address with one or more queries to which the user has access, wherein the table comprises information associated with other users who are currently logged-in to the computer network, determining whether the user and at least one of the other currently logged-in users have common access to one or more queries, identifying the user and the at least one of the other currently logged-in users determined to have common access to one or more queries as conflicting users, and restricting write or modify queries through the network for the conflicting users.
