Folder permissions

Soon

Not built. There are no folders in the vault and no per-folder access control.

What you get
  • ✓No folders, no per-folder permissions, no inherited ACLs — none of it exists
  • ✓Matters group related documents and work
  • ✓Free-text tags on contracts
  • ✓Saved views — stored filters over the vault, not folders

Overview

What it is.

The vault has no folder concept — no folder table, no folder on a contract, and therefore no per-folder access-control list. This page used to describe one. It was wrong.

What organises documents today is matters (group a deal or a dispute's contracts, research and obligations together) and free-text tags. What controls access is organisation-level role permissions, which are per capability rather than per document set — see Roles and permissions.

How it works

Three steps.
End to end.

01
1. Not available yet

There are no folders and no folder ACLs.

02
2. Group by matter instead

A matter collects the documents, redline sessions, obligations, meetings and tasks for one piece of work.

03
3. Control access by role

Permissions are granted per capability to a role, across the organisation.

FAQ

Quick answers.

How do I restrict one sensitive matter to three people?

You cannot, at document level, today. Permissions are per capability across the organisation rather than per folder or per matter. If that is a requirement, tell us — it is a real gap and worth knowing that it is one.
