Abstract

Nested namespaces for selective content sharing. In one embodiment, for example, a computer-implemented method includes the steps of: receiving a request to share a content item with a first set of user accounts held with a content management system; determining a first namespace to which the content item belongs; based on detecting that a second set of user accounts allowed to access the first namespace is different from the first set of user accounts, creating a second namespace nested in the first namespace; associating the first set of user accounts with the second namespace; and based on the first set of user accounts being associated with the second namespace, allowing the first set of user accounts to access content items, including the content item, belonging to the second namespace.
