Security and Data Management
Audience: Users, administrators, organizational security and data owners
How is access restricted?
Company records are tenant-scoped. Platform role, group access, company role and organization-unit assignments are evaluated together. Company and group boundaries explains the context in which records open.
Members and Team Leads read many business records across the company; writes, individual performance and confidential OKRs have narrower rules. Unit membership alone does not reveal a confidential record. Record ownership/contribution, administrator or authorized unit/ancestor leadership, and related records are considered. The Role Guide explains the detailed scope.
Module entitlement, menu availability and authority over a record are separate. Hiding a menu does not write a new role policy; enabling a module does not grant every user write access to every record.
Account security
- Use your own account; do not share passwords, reset links or API keys.
- Sign out before leaving a shared device. Use the Profile guide for personal language/password and role information.
- Suspend or remove a departing person's relevant company membership. Only the Super Admin suspends the platform account; these actions have different scopes.
- Keep push keys only in the sending system. The Push guide explains revocation and creating a replacement.
Record history
KPI changes appear in the KPI's History tab. Entitlement-set, platform-setting, license and assessment records retain their own scopes. Consult the appropriate area in History and Audit Records rather than expecting a single shared login/operation log.
Secret platform settings are not returned as readable values; the interface shows that a saved value exists. Keep plaintext secrets out of screenshots and support records.
Retention and backups
The Super Admin uses Platform Settings to manage retention for AI conversations and specified tool/usage, notification and integration records. Applicable nightly jobs clean up expired records. The periods for one record type do not apply to all others.
Operational backups, hosting region, access/deletion requests and legal retention obligations follow the deployment's agreement and operating procedures. Confirm those documents with your COS administrator and data owner; this guide does not promise fixed data residency, seven-year retention or certification.
AI and external connections
Conversation messages and relevant tool-result content may be sent to the selected AI provider for processing. Check your organization's data-sharing rules and provider agreement before choosing company/group providers. AI Provider explains selection and scope.
An on-prem installation does not imply that every external connection is disabled. Configured email, Google sign-in, AI, web research or observability communicates with the corresponding service. Administrators should configure only organizationally approved destinations.
Suspected security event
If unexpected record access or changes appear, note the time, company, record ID and reproduction steps; report them to your COS administrator through your organization's security process. Do not share secret values. The authorized team investigates access scope and relevant record history.
