Document access control and permission tracking

Purpose

1.1 Automate document access control by programmatically allowing, restricting, or modifying permissions for internal and external users over models, design documents, and compliance records.

1.3 Supports regulated environments where automated permission and access automation helps uphold confidentiality, intellectual property protection, and standardized workflows.
1.4 Automator workflows for revoking access, escalating requests, and expiry tracking simplify policy adherence and automate incident response.

Trigger Conditions

2.1 New document upload or version creation automates permission setting and notifications.
2.2 Automated access request by email/form, triggering review, grant, or deny actions.
2.3 Scheduled audits or compliance checks, automating extraction of access logs and permission status.
2.4 Policy changes automate permission updates across the document repository.
2.5 Automation on user role changes (onboarding/offboarding or role update) to automate recalculating access.
