Supply chain incident management system with user access controls
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240012919A1) describes a computer-implemented method for managing account data using an application instance. The method involves storing account data associated with a group account and receiving requests to grant external users access to specific data records within the account. The validation process includes determining if the external user can be granted access based on predefined visibility groups, access modes, and external access settings associated with the group account. If access is granted, access data is generated and stored, allowing the external user to access the particular data record. The method also includes functionalities such as revoking access privileges, presenting graphical user interfaces for users and administrators, and determining user permissions based on visibility groups and access modes.
Furthermore, the method includes features like presenting graphical user interfaces for users and administrators, determining user permissions based on visibility groups and access modes, and revoking access privileges when requested. The patent application also covers scenarios where access requests are denied based on predefined settings and conditions, ensuring secure and controlled access to account data. The method aims to provide a structured approach to managing account data access, allowing for granular control over permissions and visibility groups within a group account. The application also includes instructions for non-transitory storage media and an apparatus with a processor and memory to execute the described method for managing account data effectively.
