Abstract

A method of controlling a social network access control list (ACL) for a shared resource includes monitoring communications to and from a user. Social network data from the communications to and from the user is determined. An access level for the user is determined based on the social network data. The access control list is configured to provide the user the access level determined for accessing the shared resource.
