Lesson 03 of 4 / Admin

What access does this workflow really need?

Give the workflow only the sources and actions required for this job. Start read-only and draft-only wherever the work can be completed without direct action.

Your move

Connect only the needed information

Map every permission to a required step and remove access the job does not use.

Use this rule

Give the workflow only the sources and actions required for this job. Start read-only and draft-only wherever the work can be completed without direct action.

Do this now

Three moves, in order.

  1. Map each step to the exact information it reads and action it proposes.
  2. Remove convenient access that the job does not require.
  3. Separate read, draft, approve, send, edit, and delete permissions.

Reads Exact source needed
Proposes Draft or recommendation produced
Acts Any direct action and who approves it

Give AI the bounded job

Prompt from your artifact—not from vibes.

Audit this workflow for minimum access. Separate read, draft, approve, send, edit, and delete. Remove any permission that is not required by a named step and flag destructive or external actions for human approval.

Before you use it

The work leaves your hands only when:

  • Every permission maps to a required step.
  • External sends and irreversible actions have an owner.
  • Test data or copies are used before live records where practical.
