Access Control

Ensure that documents are seen and used only by the right people, at the right level, and for the right purpose.

Secure & Simplified Access

Access control in Centris helps organisations protect sensitive information while still enabling smooth collaboration. In many environments, documents are either shared too widely or locked away in personal folders and cupboards.
Centris replaces informal sharing with clearly defined access rules, ensuring documents remain secure, controlled, and available only to authorised individuals.

The right people, the right documents.

Design Intent Behind
Access Control

  • Access control in Centris is designed around a simple principle: information should be accessible, but never exposed
  • Organisations handle documents of varying sensitivity—some meant for wide reference, others restricted to a small group.
  • Rather than relying on informal practices such as email sharing or locked cabinets,
  • Centris introduces structured, rule-based access that aligns with organisational roles and responsibilities
  • The system is designed to reduce risk without creating complexity, ensuring security does not become a barrier to everyday work.

Built-in security for everyday documents.

How It Works

Centris applies access control directly within its structured document hierarchy, ensuring permissions are clear and consistent.
This allows organisations to control access precisely,
without managing permissions file by file.
