Document & Knowledge ManagementPurpose
1.2. Automate onboarding/offboarding of employees, contractors, or clients based on project or compliance needs.
1.3. Enforce granular, auditable permissions on document repositories, CAD files, research archives, and record logs.
1.4. Minimize manual intervention and risk of error in managing complex access matrices across aeronautical engineering teams and collaborators.
1.5. Centrally log all permission changes for regulatory and quality certifications (e.g., AS9100, ITAR compliance).
Trigger Conditions
