Abstract
Embodiments of this invention control access to documents by identifying a user requesting a document, retrieving a membership list associated with the user, retrieving an access control list (ACL) associated with the document, and intersecting the user's membership list and the document's ACL to determine if the user has privileges to access to the document. Certain embodiments of this invention filter documents in a search result to return those documents (or a list of those documents) that are accessible to a user.
