Abstract

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for creating secured file views of a protected file. The process receives a request to access the file, wherein the file is stored in a common location, and wherein the request includes a set of file viewing parameters. The process identifies a callback function associated with the file and calls the callback function with the set of file viewing parameters to form a set of virtual viewing parameters. Thereafter, the process generates a secured file view of the file using the virtual viewing parameters, wherein the secured file view is viewable by a user of an authorized partition.
