System for Providing User Privilege Information Associated with Secured Data

In one embodiment, a system receives a request for user privilege information associated with an object of a first database. The system determines a class of a second database that corresponds to the object and accesses user privilege records that the second database associates with the class. The system determines a subset of the user privilege records that correspond to a selected user. Each of the subset of user privilege records comprise a privilege and a user privilege value indicating whether the selected user is authorized for that privilege. The subset of user privilege records are consolidated into a privilege matrix comprising a first axis listing the selected user, a second axis listing the privileges, and for each intersection of selected user and privilege, a corresponding user privilege value determined from the subset of user privilege records. The system communicates the privilege matrix in response to the request.
