Document permissions: separate viewing and editing

Illustrative situation

Temporary staff need to read reception instructions but should not change the master copy.

The decision

Define permissions by work responsibility. An editable shared folder may be convenient but should not become the only way staff can read instructions.

Rehearse this before accepting the change

Open a previously shared link after access removal; confirm the agreed restriction applies.

Use fictional examples and an authorised test environment. Record what happened, the evidence you inspected and any issue that still needs a responsible owner.

Choose a useful measure

Count unexplained access grants and overdue permission reviews.

Agree the definition and baseline with the team doing the work. Review the result over a comparable period and note other changes that could affect it.

Your planning worksheet

Use these checks to prepare a discussion with your team or supplier. Tick a check when you have recorded the decision or evidence, rather than when a feature has simply been promised.
