Your organisation is the top-level tenant. Within it you create Org Units that mirror your team structure — each with a free-text type label (Domain, Team, Department, Squad, etc.) that is display-only and does not affect access control. Users can belong to multiple Org Units. Each membership is explicit — there is no implicit access from hierarchy or admin roles.

Admin roles

Role	Scope
Owner	Full tenant control — up to 3 per organisation
Org Admin	Manages an org unit subtree and all users within it
Unit Admin	Manages a single assigned Org Unit
Security Officer	Security configuration and audit logs only — no file access
Auditor	Read-only compliance reports and audit logs — no file access
Member	Standard user — access determined by Org Unit and room membership

Security policies

Security officers and owners configure organisation-wide policies from Security → Policies:

Policy area	What it controls
Data Sharing	Which classification levels can be shared, and to whom (tenant, org unit, user)
Encryption	Which KMS key is used per org unit scope
Storage	Which storage backend is assigned per org unit scope
DLP	Content-scanning rules that trigger on upload
Org Unit Roster	Audit view of all user–org unit memberships
Clearance Matrix	User effective clearance at a glance

Access reviews

Access reviews are periodic certification workflows. An admin starts a review, which snapshots all current Org Unit memberships. Each membership is approved (kept) or revoked by a reviewer. Revoked memberships are removed immediately. Access reviews satisfy ISO 27001 Annex A.9 and SOC 2 CC6.2 requirements for periodic access certification. View full access control docs →
