Systems for managing personalized access to shared online objects. A user accesses a server in a cloud-based environment, wherein the server is interfaced with storage devices that store one or more content objects. The server receives communications packets comprising at least one session attribute, wherein receiving the one or more communications packets is responsive, either directly or indirectly, to an act of the user to invoke a new content access session. The session attribute is used to generate personalized workspace properties that are based on explicitly-provided information or based on inferences that pertain to the invoked content access session. Access to content objects is personalized using explicit or inferred workspace session properties. Personalization includes any aspects of branding preferences, working group colleagues, roles, privileges, friends, etc. Personalization can be based on personalized workspace properties that are inferred based on rules or combinations of data.

Systems for managing shared content in a cloud-based service platform. A method commences upon identifying one or more storage devices that store one or more content objects. The storage devices may be partitioned into geographically distant locations. A first partition in one geography is associated with a first set of content objects and a second partition is associated with a second set of content objects. An inviter-collaborator generates a set of outgoing collaboration attributes pertaining to a shared content object from the first partition. The outgoing collaboration attributes are stored on the inviter's partition. An invitee-collaborator accepts the invitation and generates a set of incoming collaboration attributes that derive from the set of outgoing collaboration attributes. The set of incoming collaboration attributes are stored on the invitee's partition. The invitations can be sent and received through operation of a web application that facilitates offering invitations and acceptance of those invitations.

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.
