How permissions work

5 rules

Subsidiary Controller access is limited to their assigned entity and shared disputes involving it.

Financial review requires a different authorised principal from the preparer.

Executive Reader sees published artifact sets; Signed alone does not grant access.

External Auditor grants specify scope and expiry; the source ledger separately authorises drill-through.

Admin maintains technical configuration without overriding financial decisions or prior locks.
