Abstract
A system for dynamically displaying specific sections of a file depending on a user identity is provided. The system utilizes access control data to enable an author to generate and share a file with a number of consumers and have each recipient view a customized set of sections of the file depending on access permissions associated with each recipient. The file can be in any format, e.g., a word processing document, presentation document, a media file, or any other file having a number of sections. A section of a file can be any definitive unit of data, such as a page, slide, tab, worksheet, video segment, audio segment, etc. Permissions can be based on a user's permission level, work history, skill level, role in an organization, title, etc. The system can also prevent access to certain sections of a file depending on the permissions associated with a consumer.
