MANAGING PRIVILEGES TO ACCESS DATA IN A DATABASE
There is provided a method that includes (a) transmitting to a first user device, a license to access data in a database, (b) receiving the license from a second user device, (c) customizing the data, thus yielding customized data; and (d) transmitting the customized data to the second user device. There is also provided a system that employs the method.
1 . A method comprising:
transmitting to a first user device, a license to access data in a database;
receiving said license from a second user device;
customizing said data, thus yielding customized data; and
transmitting said customized data to said second user device.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said customizing includes modifying said data.
3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising, prior to said customizing, receiving a descriptor of an identity of a user of said second user device,
wherein said customizing includes configuring said customized data in accordance with said identity.
4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising, prior to said customizing, receiving a descriptor of an identity of said second user device,
wherein said customizing includes configuring said customized data in accordance with said identity.
5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising, prior to said customizing, receiving a descriptor of a characteristic of said second user device,
wherein said customizing includes configuring said customized data in accordance with said characteristic.
6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising, prior to said customizing, receiving a descriptor of an application that is being utilized by said second user device,
wherein said customizing includes configuring said customized data in accordance with said application.
7 . A system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory that includes instructions that are readable by said processor to cause said processor to perform operations of:
transmitting to a first user device, a license to access data in a database;
receiving said license from a second user device;
customizing said data, thus yielding customized data; and
transmitting said customized data to said second user device.
8 . The system of claim 7 , wherein said customizing includes modifying said data.
9 . The system of claim 7 ,
wherein said instructions also cause said processor to perform, prior to said customizing, an operation of receiving a descriptor of an identity of a user of said second user device, and
wherein said customizing includes configuring said customized data in accordance with said identity.
10 . The system of claim 7 ,
wherein said instructions also cause said processor to perform, prior to said customizing, an operation of receiving a descriptor of an identity of said second user device, and
wherein said customizing includes configuring said customized data in accordance with said identity.
11 . The system of claim 7 ,
wherein said instructions also cause said processor to perform, prior to said customizing, an operation of receiving a descriptor of a characteristic of said second user device, and
wherein said customizing includes configuring said customized data in accordance with said characteristic.
12 . The system of claim 7 ,
wherein said instructions also cause said processor to perform, prior to said customizing, an operation of receiving a descriptor of an application that is being utilized by said second user device, and
wherein said customizing includes configuring said customized data in accordance with said application.
13 . A storage device comprising instructions that are readable by a processor to cause said processor to perform operations of:
transmitting to a first user device, a license to access data in a database;
receiving said license from a second user device;
customizing said data, thus yielding customized data; and
transmitting said customized data to said second user device.
14 . The storage device of claim 13 , wherein said customizing includes modifying said data.
15 . The storage device of claim 13 ,
wherein said instructions also cause said processor to perform, prior to said customizing, an operation of receiving a descriptor of an identity of a user of said second user device, and
wherein said customizing includes configuring said customized data in accordance with said identity.
16 . The storage device of claim 13 ,
wherein said instructions also cause said processor to perform, prior to said customizing, an operation of receiving a descriptor of an identity of said second user device, and
wherein said customizing includes configuring said customized data in accordance with said identity.
17 . The storage device of claim 13 ,
wherein said instructions also cause said processor to perform, prior to said customizing, an operation of receiving a descriptor of a characteristic of said second user device, and
wherein said customizing includes configuring said customized data in accordance with said characteristic.
18 . The storage device of claim 13 ,
wherein said instructions also cause said processor to perform, prior to said customizing, an operation of receiving a descriptor of an application that is being utilized by said second user device, and
wherein said customizing includes configuring said customized data in accordance with said application.
