Abstract
A system that generates a per user abstraction of a store from a connection point. Filtering a view set of a hierarchically secured containment hierarchy based on the access permissions of the principal is one of the novel features of the invention. The invention can offer a collection of primitives that can operate on this aggregation that span multiple container hierarchies with potentially heterogeneous security descriptors. The model can reduce the necessity to traverse the container hierarchy to discover all the accessible items in a domain.
