Granola Enterprise RBAC
Contents
Overview
Configure enterprise role-based access control for Granola meeting notes with SSO integration and compliance auditing.
Prerequisites
- Granola Business or Enterprise plan
- Organization admin access
- SSO configured (recommended)
Role Hierarchy
Organization Owner -> Organization Admin -> Workspace Admin -> Team Lead -> Member -> Viewer -> Guest
Instructions
Step 1: Define Roles
Map organizational structure to Granola roles. Org Owner for billing/SSO, Workspace Admin per department, Team Lead for team management, Member for standard users.
Step 2: Configure SSO Group Mapping
Map SSO groups (Okta/Azure AD) to Granola roles with workspace assignments. Enable JIT provisioning for automatic account creation.
Step 3: Set Access Policies
- Internal sharing: automatic within teams, admin approval cross-workspace
- External sharing: workspace admin approval, 30-day link expiration
- Public links: disabled for security
Step 4: Create Custom Roles (Enterprise)
Extend base roles with additional permissions scoped to specific workspaces.
Step 5: Establish Audit Process
Enable audit logging for role changes and access events. Schedule quarterly access reviews.
See detailed implementation for complete permission matrices, SSO group mapping examples, JIT provisioning config, and user lifecycle procedures.
Output
- Role hierarchy defined and documented
- SSO group mapping configured
- Access policies enforced
- Audit logging enabled
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| User can't access workspace | Wrong role assignment | Check SSO group mapping |
| External sharing blocked | Policy too restrictive | Review sharing policy settings |
| Guest access expired | Time limit reached | Re-invite or extend expiration |
| Orphaned accounts | Offboarding gap | Run quarterly access review |
Examples
Principle of Least Privilege
- Start all users as Viewer
- Upgrade to Member when they begin recording
- Grant Team Lead for management needs
- Review access quarterly, downgrade unused privileges
