CREDENTIALS FOR CONSENT BASED FILE ACCESS

摘要

An approach is disclosed for providing built-in consent permissions for users, groups, processes, and programs accessing a part of a filesystem. The method includes integrating a consent access control into a plurality of files in a filesystem. A first request from a first requestor to access information from a first file in the filesystem is received. A first access policy for the first requestor is determined. The first access policy includes a first selective data conversion. A second request from a second requestor to access information from the first file in the filesystem is received. A second access policy for the second requestor different from the first access policy for the first requestor is determined.
