Data Synchronization#

Situation#

You collaborate with others via an application and just updated some data for them. Now, it needs to be synchronized securely. They may currently not be online to receive data directly.

This situation has a few more considerations, some of them originating from security concerns:

There may be groups of users which do not need the data and you don’t want to synchronize with everyone.
New incoming data should be trustworthy.
When to synchronize and which storage to use as an exchange is decided by the application.

Approach#

The synchronization is set up against two storage locations (see storage concept). Each storage location has a default setting on which roles are permitted to write and read data which can be overwritten by each storage within the location. The role definitions are according to the user registry.
