a step of acquiring the operation authority type and an operation authority object for the sharable document determined by the first user based on the authority control entry, for use as the authority data.

5. The method according to claim 1 , after the acquiring the authority data for the sharable document determined by the first user based on the authority control entry, further comprising:

sending the authority data to a document server to which the sharable document belongs to update the recipient user's operation authority data for the sharable document recorded by the document server;

wherein the sending the authority data to the document server to which the sharable document belongs comprises:

sending the authority data to the document server to which the sharable document belongs, when the first user inputs the authority data to a current authority control entry or when the email is confirmed to be sent to the second user.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the authority control entry comprises a control displayed in association with a hyperlink of the sharable document, and the control is configured to input the authority data.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the control is configured to confirm preset default authority data; wherein the preset default authority data comprises the second user's access authority for the sharable document.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the displaying, in the email editing interface, the hyperlink information of the sharable document and the authority control entry of the sharable document comprises:

requesting to a document server for acquisition of editable authority data of the sharable document; and

displaying, in the email editing interface, the hyperlink information of the sharable document according to the editable authority data returned by the document server, and displaying, in the authority control entry, content of the editable authority data for the first user to operate the editable authority data.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the requesting to the document server for acquisition of the editable authority data of the sharable document comprises:

upon detection of a hyperlink of the sharable document in the email editing interface or detection of an edit activating operation on the authority control entry, requesting to the document server for acquisition of the editable authority data of the sharable document.

10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein:
