Granular Permissions
Granular permissions refer to the ability to control access to content or tools at a detailed level - such as by page, folder, feature, department, or user role. They go beyond simple admin/user roles and allow for fine-tuned visibility and editing rights within the intranet.
In banks and credit unions, granular permissions are essential for compliance and clarity. Not every user needs access to every form, document, or workflow. With the right settings, you can ensure the right people see the right things - and nothing more.
Why It Matters
Without granular control, intranet content can quickly become messy or risky. Employees may access outdated files, view restricted information, or accidentally edit something they shouldn't. Granular permissions reduce confusion, limit access by job function, and support internal controls.
Examples of Granular Permissions
- Only compliance staff can edit regulatory procedures
- Branch managers can post to location-specific calendars
- Loan department sees rate sheets, but not HR files
- Directors access board packets, but no operational tools
