Abstract

This paper presents an intuitive metaphor and user interface for managing access permissions of a shared workspace. It is based on a combination of the room and key metaphor, which represent shared workspaces and the users' access permissions. Keys and rooms can be used for different modes of group formation. We report on experiences with the metaphors in the context of the collaborative learning environment CURE.
