Abstract—The rapid development of communication and networking has lessened geographical boundaries among actors in social networks. In social networks, actors often want admittance and permission over databases depending upon their rights, privacy, context, privileges, etc. Managing and handling knowledge based admittance of actors is complex and hard for which broad range of technologies need to be called. Admittance based on dynamic rights and circumstances of actors impose major tasks on systems. In this paper, we present a Generic Social Network (GSN) to render admittance to actors in social networks along with permission over databases taking privacy and status of them into consideration. The designed GSN is tested over an Agriculture Social Network (ASN) which utilises distinct rights and privileges of actors related to the agriculture occupation, and provides admittance to actors in it.

Index Terms—Actor, admittance, database, knowledge.
