ACCESS CONTROL

Permissions inherited from every connected source.

Goplustive does not invent a new access model. If a person cannot open a Drive folder or a Slack channel today, an answer will not include content from it tomorrow.

THE RULE

One line worth memorising.

For every answer, Goplustive checks that the person asking has permission to see each source used to build that answer - as if they had opened it themselves in the native app.

  • Answers are user-scoped at query time
  • No shadow permissions or bypass roles
  • Excluded sources never enter the index
  • Audit log records every source used per answer
Permission check - what happens on every query
  1. Step 01Identify the asker

    Query is bound to the user's SSO identity in your identity provider.

  2. Step 02Enumerate candidate sources

    Only sources this user could open in the native app are considered.

  3. Step 03Filter and cite

    The answer is built from filtered sources - and each citation confirms access at the time of query.

  4. Step 04Deny with dignity

    If nothing accessible answers the question, the answer explains that clearly rather than leaking a hint of what exists.

ROLES

Simple roles that match how teams actually work.

Member
Ask questions - answers scoped to what they can already see in each source.
Team lead
Everything a member can do, plus analytics scoped to their team.
Workspace admin
Manage connectors, roles and sensitive-source exclusions.
Audit reader
Read-only access to the audit log without ability to change configuration.
SENSITIVE SOURCES

Some sources should never be searched.

Legal privilege, HR investigations, payroll, board material - these belong on a short list of excluded sources. Excluded sources are never indexed and cannot be re-enabled without a workspace admin action, logged with a reason.

Sample exclusions
  • Slack#legal-privileged Excluded
  • Drive/HR - Investigations Excluded
  • WikiSpace: Board briefings Excluded
  • CRMField: Payroll notes Excluded

Access, mirrored - not re-invented.

If your team already runs on SSO and per-source permissions, Goplustive respects them by default.
