Abstract
Methods and systems for sharing electronic documents are described herein. The example method includes storing the electronic documents in a relational database storage; storing entity identifiers in the relational database storage, each entity identifier representing an entity type; recording in a non-relational database storage associations between the electronic documents and at least one entity identifier, each association comprising a relationship between a set of electronic documents and the at least one entity identifier; associating a delegate account with the at least one entity identifier; and based on an association recorded in the non-relational database storage for the at least one entity identifier, granting the delegate account a subset of document management functions available for the set of documents.
