How does access control work across Flex Strata?

Access control comes up across several corners of Flex Strata, so it's worth having the full picture in one place.

The core model

Every seat type — committee member, strata or building manager, owner, or contractor invited to a specific thread — can be granted access on a page-by-page basis rather than through a single fixed role. There's no default that assumes any seat type sees everything.

Who sets it

The committee controls access settings, deciding what managers, owners and others can see, and can adjust those settings at any point without needing to remove and re-add anyone.

Common configurations

• Committee members: broad access to committee-facing pages
• Managers: whatever pages the committee agrees to, commonly maintenance, compliance and documents
• Owners without a committee seat: a curated set of pages, commonly documents, notices and request forms
• Contractors: often no standing access at all, just an invitation into a single relevant thread

How this supports both openness and privacy

Granular access lets a committee be transparent where it wants to be — opening documents or minutes up to owners, for example — while keeping genuinely sensitive material, like internal Committee Hub discussion or dispute detail, restricted to those who need it.

Access and the audit log work together

Because every meaningful change is recorded in the audit log, access control isn't the only safeguard — even within the access someone has been granted, there's a record of what they actually did with it, which supports accountability beyond simply gating visibility.

Reviewing access over time

It's good practice for a committee to periodically review who has access to what, particularly after a committee turnover, a change of manager, or the end of a contractor engagement, rather than assuming access settings remain appropriate indefinitely.
