1. A method for context-aware content object security, the method comprising:
applying a first set of resource access permissions to a shared content object;
maintaining one or more context-aware access policies that govern user interactions over the shared content object;
gathering one or more interaction attributes associated with a particular user interaction over the shared content object;
applying the one or more context-aware access policies to the one or more interaction attributes to determine and store, in computer memory, a set of extensible access permissions associated with the particular user interaction over the shared content object; and
overriding the first set of resource access permissions to the shared content object with the set of extensible access permissions retrieved from the computer memory and associated with the particular user interaction over the shared content object, in response to a determination that the set of extensible access permissions conflicts with the first set of resource access permissions.
