Abstract
Certain embodiments herein relate to modeling relationships between users, network elements, and events in an organization. Organizational information regarding users and network elements may be collected and analyzed to create a relationship graph relating users and network elements. The relationship graph may include nodes representing users and network elements and edges connecting pairs of users and/or network elements. The edges may be weighted based on a number of factors, such as operational dependencies, user preferences for receiving information associated with events, and a user's historical actions, which may determine whether a user may receive an event. A relationship graph as described herein may be leveraged to provide various uses, including generating a relationship subgraph that may allow users to identify the impact of events on other users and network elements in an organization.
