• Users' Relationship

In Online Social Networks, the access control method based on users' relationship protects users' resources in a way. But the method cannot grant the right of access resources to the requestor who is correlated with the resource's content, because it only considers users' relationship, and ignores the importance of the content of the resource itself. So, this paper provides an access control policy based on users' relationship and resource's content, in this policy, if a requestor wants to gain the right of access resources, he doesn't only meet the requirement of users' relationship, but also has a certain correlation with the resource's content. This method makes users' relationship and resource's content together as conditions of judging the requestor's right of access resources, which increase the flexibility of access control rules.
