Systems for managing content in a cloud-based service platform. Embodiments operate using a server in a cloud-based environment. The server is configured to interface with one or more storage devices that store content objects. The server is further configured to carry out a protocol between the server and a user interface that supports access to the storage devices. In example configurations, the server is capable of processing at least three different access requests types that are raised from a user interface. A first access type corresponds to an access request type by a registered user. A second access type corresponds to an access request type to permit an application that is invoked by operation of the user interface to be run on the server and to produce further content objects. A third access type corresponds to an access request type that uses an inherited user profile to run a microservice.

Access authentication for cloud-based shared content

Systems for managing user-level security in a cloud-based service platform. A server in a cloud-based environment is configured to interface with storage devices that store objects that are accessible over a network by two or more users. An enterprise entity is identified using an enterprise identifier associated with the enterprise, and an application service is associated with an application identifier. An application service request comprising a user identifier and the application identifier is received, and authentication is determined based on the combination of the user identifier and a pre-authenticated application identifier. Once the application service request is authenticated, then specific aspects of the service request are authorized. The integrity of the application identifier is confirmed by locating a secure association of the given application identifier to a pre-shared enterprise identifier. Logging, auditing and other functions can be performed at the user level using the user identifier for user-level tracking.
