Give each team enough visibility to do its work while limiting sensitive actions and unnecessary data exposure.

Start from actual responsibilities
Map tasks to roles such as sales, operations, and accounts, then identify which records and actions each role needs. Avoid copying an organisational chart without examining real workflows.

Thoughtful decisions compound over time.
Practical product work brings technical choices back to the people and workflows they are meant to serve.
Separate viewing from changing
Some users need to see a status without editing financial or customer data. Design permissions around actions and ownership, and test cases where records cross team boundaries.
Review access as work changes
Provide a process for onboarding, role changes, and offboarding, and review privileged accounts periodically. A permissions review can balance usability with appropriate safeguards.
Practical application
Write a role matrix with view, create, edit, approve, and export actions for each type of record. Test at least one denied path for every sensitive action and recheck access after a staff member changes roles.
