Editorial draft available to read. Factual and language review is pending. Examples are illustrative.

Decision and scope

Read access should follow the decision and the area of responsibility. Define what management, supervisors and support staff may see, separating plant, line and information type. A job title does not imply access to every record. An aggregate view may be sufficient without exposing individual personal or commercial details.

Illustrative example

Illustrative example: a supervisor needs orders for their line and downtime reasons, but not sales margins. Management sees aggregates across several lines. Test exports and direct links as well: hiding a column on screen is insufficient if the underlying value remains available through another response.

Acceptance check

Build a matrix of allowed and denied questions for each role. Include temporary cover and job changes. Accept the access model when server responses, search, assistant answers and downloads enforce the same scope, and revoking permission prevents new queries without relying on someone manually closing a browser tab.

Key takeaways

  • Accept the access model when server responses, search, assistant answers and downloads enforce the same scope, and revoking permission prevents new queries without relying on someone manually closing a browser tab.
