Who can see our Committee Hub threads?
Quick answer
By default, only committee members can see Committee Hub threads. A specific outsider — a manager or contractor — can be invited into a single thread, and owners without a committee or manager seat cannot see Hub content at all.
Key takeaways
- Committee members see Committee Hub by default; owners without a seat do not
- Managers see it only if the committee switches that page on for their seat
- Contractors can be invited into a single thread without a standing seat at all
Access to Committee Hub follows the same page-level permission model used throughout Flex Strata, applied specifically to committee discussion.
Default visibility
Standing committee members — chair, secretary, treasurer and ordinary members — see Committee Hub as part of their normal access. This is where the private, working-level discussion happens, distinct from anything shared publicly with owners.
Owners and Committee Hub
Owners who are not on the committee do not see Committee Hub content by default. Owner-facing access is limited to whatever the committee explicitly switches on for them — typically documents, notices, meetings records, requests and similar — never the committee's internal discussion threads.
Managers, building managers and contractors
A strata or building manager with a standing seat sees whatever pages the committee has switched on for their role — which may or may not include Committee Hub, depending on how much the committee wants to include them in day-to-day discussion versus formal reporting only. A contractor with no standing seat can still be invited into one specific thread without being given a seat at all.
Changing access
If a committee member's role changes, or someone leaves the committee, their access to Hub threads is removed the same way any other access is — through the people and access settings, not by manually deleting messages.
Why this matters for governance
Keeping Hub discussion visible only to the people who need it protects candid, working-level conversation — the sort every committee needs to have honestly — while still ensuring the *decisions* that come out of that discussion get properly communicated to owners through the right formal channel when required.
