Grant and audit resource access

Project general access#

Open Project → Sharing. Inspect General access: the screen distinguishes an organization-accessible project from an invite-only project. Review People with access and use Manage Access for the intended grants.

Project visibility does not erase individual-resource authorization checks. Verify the exact action on the exact resource using the recipient's account.

Resource roles#

RoleIntended access
OwnerView, edit, run, share, delete
EditorView, edit, run, export; not share or delete
ViewerView; not modify, run, or share
ExecutorRun applicable resources without edit/share access

These are different from organization Owner/Admin/Member roles. Organization administration does not automatically expose private child-resource data.

Share an app workflow#

Open the app's Share controls and choose the person/team and role. Then inspect its bound function/entity requirements. An app invocation needs Viewer access to the app and Executor access to its bound function; nested calls require execution access to their target functions too. An Executor can run the applicable active function version without seeing its source.

Inspect grants#

Open Organization → Access and switch between By person and By resource. Locate the intended identity or resource and review its direct grants. Use this view to diagnose a denied operation or an unexpected exposure.

Record the organization, project, caller, resource, and operation when debugging. Test again after changing a grant. Do not infer permission from the fact that the resource was visible to the person who created it.
