Abstract
A computing system that provides access to electronic content includes a processor, a data store, and a user interface component. The data store is coupled to the processor and configured to store the electronic content. The user interface component is coupled to the processor and configured to generate a user interface allowing an internal user to generate a sharing request to share electronic content with an external user. The processor is configured to determine whether the internal user is a member of a group that is allowed to externally share content and to inhibit external sharing of the electronic content if the internal user is not a member of the group that is allowed to externally share the electronic content.
