We’re introducing granular permissions - a simpler, safer way to manage how teams collaborate in Ziqara.
Why it matters
As companies scale, data access gets messy. Leadership wants visibility; engineering wants freedom; compliance wants boundaries. A one-size-fits-all permission model slows everyone down.
Our new structure keeps your organization secure without the spreadsheet gymnastics.
Three new roles
-
Leadership
- Full visibility across org-level analytics and compliance.
- Can delegate workspace creation and approve integrations.
- Access audit logs and content snapshots for governance.
-
Team Admin
- Manage only their team’s projects, chats, and data.
- Invite/remove users, control AI access settings.
- Configure embeddings and workspace privacy.
-
Team User
- Focused access for contributors and analysts.
- Can use all products (Chat, Search, Note-Taker, Cloud) within the team scope.
- No accidental cross-team exposure.
Built for scale
- Role inheritance means fewer duplicate rules.
- Activity logs now show which role initiated changes.
- APIs respect these scopes automatically - no custom logic needed.
UI highlights
- Cleaner "Manage Access" panel with search by name or email.
- Admin dashboard includes permission diffing between roles.
- Every update is instantly synced via Firestore triggers.
Coming soon
- Custom roles for departments with unique needs.
- Session expiration policies for contractors and external collaborators.
Granular permissions are rolling out this week for all Pro workspaces. Start using them today and keep your knowledge safe - and shareable.
