FAQ
Common questions
Can we set different time windows?
Yes. Teams choose access durations that match each workflow and risk level.
What happens when access expires?
Access closes automatically, and the record shows when that happened.
Will this block urgent work?
No. You can still allow rapid approvals while keeping expiry in place.
Can we review old decisions later?
Yes. Records make it easy to revisit who had access and why.
