This feature is available for paid plans. Free plans are limited to a single profile.

Granular access allows you to customize which sensitive documents each account is granted access to. The access to documents is managed through the use of permission profiles.

Permission profiles allow you to grant a group of accounts access to a subset of documents, as opposed to managing access for each account individually. When an Account is created, they will be assigned to a permission profile. Consequently, the Account has access to the documents that their permission profile has been granted.

Creating a Permission Profile

Available to Admin role only

Note: There will be default profile already created called "Full Access". This profile has access to all documents and is continuously updated to cover all documentation in your security portal. This profile cannot be edited.

  1. Navigate to the settings page in the SafeBase app and scroll down to the Permission Profiles section

  2. Click "Create New Profile"

  3. Fill in your Profile Name and Description

  4. Select the private documents that you want Accounts with this profile to have access to

  5. Click "Save"

When a user does not have access to a specified document, there will be a note that states that the document is not shared with their company.
