One exemplary embodiment involves receiving, from an administrator device, a first request to provide a set of privileges to at least one of a set of users and a set of user groups to access private resources referenced by a path of a networked hierarchical repository, the set of privileges including at least one authorized access privilege. The embodiment also involves modifying a metadata associated with the private resources to indicate the set of privileges to provide to the at least one of the set of users and the set of user groups, the metadata associated with the private resources being modified to at least indicate the authorized access privilege. Additionally, the embodiment involves receiving a second request for authorized access to a set of resources associated with the networked hierarchical repository and providing the authorized access based on whether the metadata associated with the set of resources indicates to provide the authorized access.
