Abstract

A method and system for establishing and maintaining a permission delegation policy for roles within a collaborative computing environment provide a list of potential delegatee end user persons to a delegator end user person. A list of delegatable permissions is provided to the delegator end user person in which the list of delegatable permissions correspond to permissions held by the delegator end user person. A delegation policy is received from the delegator end user person. The delegation policy includes one or more delegated permissions from the list of delegatable permissions and identification of a delegatee end user person from the list of potential delegatee end users persons designated to receive the delegated permissions.
