Advanced Role-Based Access Control (Expanded Permissions Framework)

Major enhancement:

Role-based permissions now go far beyond basic module access, providing fine-grained control over visibility, access, and interaction across the entire platform:

Team & user visibility controls:
Choose whether teams can view other teams, whether users can view other team members, manage invitation rights, and control permission management visibility
Docs module access control:
Toggle access to the Docs module and control document visibility (all vs assigned only), view in-progress doc sections, view in-progress section comments, edit sections, assign sections, manage categories, manage SmartFields, and control publishing/status changes
Scope module access control:
Toggle access to the Scope module and manage information requirements, scope task rows, tasks, work packages, team and member assignments, task fields, milestones, information requirement assignment, task visibility, and task status permissions
Verify module access control:
Toggle access to the Verify module, manage models, model linking rules, task linking rules, model status changes, task status management, and control visibility of in-progress models
File Manager access control:
Toggle access to the File Manager, manage files, request eSignatures, and control file visibility including exported file visibility and assigned-only vs full access

This delivers a

true enterprise-grade permission model

that supports secure governance, structured collaboration, operational role alignment, information security by design, scalable multi-team environments, and compliance-ready access management.

What started as a request for Scope-only access control is now a

platform-wide granular permission architecture

supporting real-world enterprise security models and ISO-aligned information management workflows.
