FILE AND ACCESS GOVERNANCE · Workflow idea

Keep documents available to the right people without accidental exposure or loss.

For an authorized storage task, locate specific files, folders, or user records and prepare a proposed upload, move, share, or account change. Verify the owner, destination, recipients, sensitivity, and existing permissions; require an administrator to approve external sharing, user creation or removal, and destructive file actions before they take effect.

The handoff

A file summary or proposed storage and account change with access and approval details.

Keep in mind

Files can contain confidential or personal information, and sharing or deletion may be difficult to reverse. Check ownership, destination, recipient identities, and permission scope; preserve recovery options; and require an authorized owner to approve external shares, user changes, moves, and deletions.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define workspace and user roles

Limit file and account operations to administrators and responsible owners.

Set sharing and external-access rules

Require named-recipient review for access outside the organization.

Protect sensitive files and account details

Return only needed metadata and keep private content out of broad notifications.

Require approval and recovery for deletion

Check backups and records-retention needs before destructive actions.
