The present disclosure includes a system and method for self-service configuration of authorizations. A collaborative information system [222] for self-configuring of authorizations includes a computing platform [224] programmed with a query service [226, 446]. The query service [226, 446] defines a number of queries [227-1, 227-2,..., 227-N] operable on a data source [115, 240, 472, 572] of a data provider. The computing platform [224] is configurable by the data provider with respect to an extent the query service [226, 446] that is invoked by an other participant [116, 238] via the computing platform [224] can involve the data source [115, 240, 472, 572].
