Does Brandlight support granular access by role?

Core explainer

What granular access controls does BrandLight support by role?

Yes. BrandLight supports granular access controls by role, geography, and product, delivered through a governance dashboard that includes role-based approvals, policy enforcement, and an approved terms library.

Access is scoped by user role, geographic footprint, and product-area filters, with least-privilege access enforced via enterprise SSO and region-aware deployments that respect data residency and cross-border governance. See BrandLight role-based access controls.

In practice, these controls gate publish actions so only authorized users can approve and push citational content, while auditable trails record who approved what and when. This combination helps maintain accountability and aligns publishing with brand governance across markets.

Can access be restricted by geography or product-area?

Yes, access can be restricted by geography or product-area, enabling local views without exposing global governance.

Geography filters segment prompts, sources, and approvals by region; region-aware deployments ensure data residency and regulatory alignment; product-area filters tie access to product lines or brands. This combination supports local execution while preserving global oversight. AI visibility benchmarks illustrate how cross-market controls can be aligned with governance goals.

For example, a regional marketing team can approve local pages and emails, while central teams maintain oversight on global templates and standards. The approach keeps local autonomy within a governed global framework.

How do governance artifacts enforce access control and approvals?

Yes, governance artifacts enforce access control and approvals by codifying policies, schemas, resolver rules, and SSO-enabled workflows.

Policies specify who can view or modify content; schemas define data structures; resolver rules route approvals and enforcement; SSO ensures authenticated access; audit trails capture changes for licensing and regulatory review. These artifacts create repeatable gates that must be satisfied before content moves toward publish-ready citational blocks.

A change request triggers the governance gates, requiring approvals before publishing, with version histories preserved to support traceability and compliance across regions and product lines.

How do enterprise SSO and least-privilege models operate within BrandLight?

Yes, enterprise SSO and least-privilege models operate across BrandLight to secure access across regions and product lines.

SSO provides centralized authentication and role mapping, enabling consistent access across markets; least-privilege ensures users receive only the permissions needed for their role and market, while governance ensures no-PII posture and data residency. These controls support scalable, compliant rollouts as brands expand into new regions and product areas.

Onboarding maps roles to regions, enables revocation of access when people change roles, and supports cross-region rollouts with auditable trails that underpin licensing and regulatory reviews. This structure helps maintain stable citational content across surfaces and markets.
