access control
Access granted by role, reviewed by the Nation.
Permissions follow role and department rather than accumulating around individuals, and every grant, revocation and review is recorded.
what it does
Authority, expressed as configuration.
Access control is where governance policy becomes operational. Roles are defined once and applied across every application.
Roles and departments
Access defined by position and department so cover and turnover are handled cleanly.
Class-level restriction
Sensitive classes such as legal, membership or cultural material held tighter than general files.
Grant and revocation events
Every permission change is an auditable event, including withdrawal of consent.
Periodic review
Access lists can be produced for administration and Council to review.
why it matters
Why it matters to a Nation.
Sovereignty means the Nation decides who reaches its records. That decision has to be enforceable and reviewable, not informal.
Permissions drift
Access accumulates over years until nobody knows who can see what.
Consent must be withdrawable
Consent that cannot be revoked in practice is not free, prior and informed.
Council is accountable
Leadership needs to be able to answer who holds access to sensitive holdings.
how it works
Inside Tsen’awt.
Access control is a platform property, applied identically in Files, Media, Office, Forms, Contacts, Notes and Tasks.
Defined in governance work
Roles come from the Nation’s own governance design, not vendor defaults.
Enforced everywhere
One permission model rather than separate settings per application.
Recorded in Activity
Grants, revocations and access attempts are logged.
Includes external parties
Consultants and agencies receive time-limited, licensed access.
outcome
What it changes.
Who reaches the record becomes a decision the Nation can prove.
No informal access
Permissions reflect current roles rather than historical habit.
Consent is operable
Withdrawal removes access and the removal is evidenced.
Review is straightforward
Access can be reported and audited on request.
