Overview

Our meeting access system ensures that users can access meeting information based on their role in the organization and meeting participation. This guide explains how meeting access works and what information you can expect to see based on your position.

Key Concepts

Span of Control

Your span of control includes:

You and your direct reports

Anyone who reports to your direct reports

This pattern continues down through your organizational hierarchy

Meeting Access Rules

Access to meeting information is determined by two main factors:

Whether you were invited to the meeting

Whether the meeting involves someone within your span of control

Privacy Settings

Meetings can be marked as private

Private meetings are only visible to invited participants, regardless of organizational hierarchy

This ensures sensitive discussions remain confidential even from those higher in the organization

Role-Based Access Examples

Executive Leadership (CEO)

Can view all non-private meetings across the organization

Provides comprehensive visibility into organizational communication

Private meetings remain visible only to invited participants

Department Leaders (CTO, COO, etc.)

Can view all non-private meetings within their department

Can see meetings where their direct reports are participants

Can access meetings where anyone in their reporting chain is involved

Managers

Can view meetings involving their direct reports

Can see meetings where anyone in their team is involved

Cannot access meetings outside their span of control, even within the same department

Individual Contributors

Can view meetings they are invited to

Cannot see meetings they weren't invited to, even if they involve team members
