Hierarchical structure of a notification system including rights based on roles
View Patent ↗A method for determining access privileges for transmitting mass notifications, is disclosed. The method includes storing information regarding user-level access privileges of a group to transmit a notification. The user group includes a user that inherits the user-level access privileges of the user group. The method also includes storing information regarding administrator-level access privileges of an administrator group, and permitting access to transmit the notification by the user based on the user's access privileges, the at least one notification, and the at least one recipient. The administrator group includes an administrator that inherits the administrator-level access privileges. The administration module is configurable by the administrator based on the administrator's access privileges. A system for determining access privileges for transmitting mass notifications is also provided.
1. A system for determining access privileges for transmitting mass notifications, comprising:
a hardware processor configured to:
transmit at least one notification to at least one recipient from a group of recipients;
store information in a user module regarding user access privileges of at least one user group to transmit the at least one notification, the at least one user group comprising at least one user that inherits the user access privileges of the at least one user group, wherein the user access privileges are assigned to the at least one user group based on at least one of an intended recipient of the at least one user group and content of a notification to be transmitted from the at least one user group; and
store information in an administration module regarding administrator access privileges of at least one administrator group, and access permission to transmit the at least one notification by the at least one user based on the at least one user's user access privileges, the at least one notification, and the at least one recipient,
wherein the at least one administrator group comprises at least one administrator that inherits the administrator access privileges, and
wherein the administration module is configurable by the at least one administrator based on the administrator access privileges.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one user is required to receive authorization from the at least one administrator to transmit the at least one notification.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein user access privileges further include at least one of the ability to create and edit the at least one notification.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein user access privileges further include the ability to stop the transmission of the at least one notification.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein each member of the at least one user group has the same user access privileges.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein each member of the at least one administrator group has the same administrator access privileges.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the administrator access privileges include at least one of the ability to add, remove, and change members of the at least one user group.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein a new user added to the at least one user group automatically inherits the user access privileges of the at least one user group, and wherein a new administrator added to the at least one administrator group automatically inherits the administrator access privileges of the at least administrator group.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the administrator access privileges include at least one of the ability to add, remove, and change at least one of the user access privileges and the administrator access privileges.
10. The system of claim 1 ,
wherein the at least one administrator group comprises a plurality of administrators that inherit the administrator access privileges and that are members of a first organization, and
wherein the at least one user group comprises a plurality of users that inherit the user access privileges and that are members of a second organization.
11. The system of claim 1 ,
wherein the processor is further configured to store, in a junior level module, information regarding junior-level access privileges of at least one junior-level group to transmit the at least one notification, the at least one junior-level group comprising at least one junior-level user that inherits the junior-level access privileges of the at least one junior-level group,
wherein the processor is configured to permit access to transmit the at least one notification by the at least one junior-level user based on the at least one junior-level user's junior-level access privileges, the at least one notification, and the at least one recipient, and
wherein the junior-level module is configurable by the at least one administrator based on the administrator access privileges.
12. A method for determining access privileges for transmitting mass notifications, comprising:
storing, by a hardware processor, information regarding user access privileges of at least one user group to transmit at least one notification, the at least one user group comprising at least one user that inherits the user access privileges of the at least one user group, wherein the user access privileges are assigned to the at least one user group based on at least one of an intended recipient of the at least one user group and content of a notification to be transmitted from the at least one user group;
storing information regarding administrator access privileges of at least one administrator group; and
permitting access to transmit the at least one notification by the at least one user based on the at least one user's user access privileges, the at least one notification, and the at least one recipient,
wherein the at least one administrator group comprises at least one administrator that inherits the administrator access privileges, and
wherein the administration module is configurable by the at least one administrator based on the administrator access privileges.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the at least one user is required to receive authorization from the at least one administrator to transmit the at least one notification.
14. The method of claim 12 , wherein user access privileges further include at least one of the ability to create and edit the at least one notification.
15. The method of claim 12 , wherein user access privileges further include the ability to stop the transmission of the at least one notification.
16. The method of claim 12 , wherein each member of the at least one user group has the same user access privileges.
17. The method of claim 12 , wherein each member of the at least one administrator group has the same administrator access privileges.
18. The method of claim 12 , wherein the administrator access privileges include at least one of the ability to add, remove, and change members of the at least one user group.
19. The method of claim 12 , wherein a new user added to the at least one user group automatically inherits the user access privileges of the at least one user group, and wherein a new administrator added to the at least one administrator group automatically inherits the administrator access privileges of the at least administrator group.
20. The method of claim 12 , wherein the administrator access privileges include at least one of the ability to add, remove, and change at least one of the user access privileges and the administrator access privileges.
21. A non-transitory machine-readable medium encoded with instructions for determining access privileges for transmitting mass notifications, the instructions comprising code for:
storing information regarding user access privileges of at least one user group to transmit at least one notification, the at least one user group comprising at least one user that inherits the user access privileges of the at least one user group, wherein the user access privileges are assigned to the at least one user group based on at least one of an intended recipient of the at least one user group and content of a notification to be transmitted from the at least one user group;
storing information regarding administrator access privileges of at least one administrator group; and
permitting access to transmit the at least one notification by the at least one user based on the at least one user's user access privileges, the at least one notification, and the at least one recipient,
wherein the at least one administrator group comprises at least one administrator that inherits the administrator access privileges, and
wherein the administration module is configurable by the at least one administrator based on the administrator access privileges.
