The main user is User A. User B is someone who User A has some kind of relationship to--note that this can include things like User B subscribing to A, but A has nothing to do with them.
DW Relationship Table
User A | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Subscribe | Access | Both | Neither | ||
User B | Subscribe | 1 Mutual subscriptions; A and B subscribe to each other, but don't give each other access. |
2 A lets B access their stuff, and B subscribes to A, but A doesn't subscribe to B. |
3 A gives access to and subscribes to B, but B only subscribes to A and does not give them access. |
N1 B subscribes to A, but A doesn't subscribe or give access to B. |
Access | 4 B gives access to A and A subscribes to B, but B doesn't subscribe to A. |
5 Mutual access; A and B give each other access, but neither subscribes to the other. |
6 A subscribes to B and gives them access, but B only gives access to B and doesn't subscribe. |
N2 B gives A access, but A does not subscribe or give access to B. | |
Both | 7 B gives access to and subscribes to A, but A only subscribes to B and does not give them access. |
8 B subscribes to A and gives them access, but A only gives access to B and doesn't subscribe. |
9 The equivalent of "friending" on LJ--A and B both subscribe and give each other access. |
N3 B both subscribes and gives access to A, but A doesn't subscribe or give access to B. | |
Neither | N4 A subscribes to B, but B doesn't subscribe or give access to A. |
N5 A gives B access, but A does not subscribe or give access to B. |
N6 A both subscribes and gives access to B, but B doesn't subscribe or give access to B. |
X A and B have no direct connections. |
LJ Relationship Table
This is for comparison--relationships on LJ are much simpler!

---|---|---|---|
Friend | Not Friend | ||
User B | Friend | 1 A and B have friended each other. |
2 B is friends with A, but A is not friends with B. |
Not Friend | 3 A is friends with B, but B is not friends with A. |
X A and B have no direct connections. |
