1. A controller having access to a network, wherein the controller comprises:
a storage device; and
processing circuitry in communication with the storage device, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
receive data including an indication to share an object created by an owner entity of a set of entities with a subset of entities of the set of entities, wherein each entity of the set of entities has access to the network, wherein the set of entities form a hierarchy within the set of entities of a multi-tenancy framework in the network, and wherein the received data indicates how the entities of the subset of entities are connected to each other within the hierarchy;
generate a rule that permits each entity of the subset of entities that requests the object to access the object via the network based on the hierarchy indicated by the received data; and
save the rule to a rules database.
