Objective
Turn the Content Governance feature on in your Outreach org, which will allowing admins to manage who can engage Sequences, Templates, and Snippets in your instance by building and configuring permissions within content Collections and associated Teams.
Applies To
- Outreach Admins
Before You Begin
Content Governance provides admin access to the Teams-Collections Access Control governance model, a mechanism designed specifically for Team-based selling motions, and used in conjunction with Collections to create access control islands. Please see our Outreach Governance Overview and FAQ to learn more.
Admin Considerations
It’s always prudent to be careful and deliberate as you enable the Content Governance feature for your organization.
-
Remember, backward compatibility works only if you start right with access controls
-
Ensure Profiles, and permissions within, are set up correctly; use principle of least privilege
-
Practice on a sandbox or testing environment
-
Communicate clearly with users on the upcoming changes
-
Ensure appropriate Profiles have been assigned to appropriate users
-
Double check Team memberships and Collection content
-
Enable → Validate → Validate → Validate
User and Admin Impact
Content Governance is enabled per Profile, so individual Users' access depends on whether the feature has been enabled for their profile. If enabled, Users can only see sequences, templates and snippets that they own directly. If the feature has not been enabled, they will continue to see content they own and content that has been marked as Shared.
Note that none of the governance boundaries described below apply to Admins, who will continue to have unrestricted access to Sequences, Templates, Snippets, Collections, and Teams. This includes the ability to fully manage content they don’t own.
