Sometimes you don’t want a user to see everything — just one project, one report, or the ability to upload responses without touching anything else. Object-level permissions let you grant access per project or per report, without changing anyone’s role.

Why object permissions exist

Real scenarios where they help:
  • You hire a freelancer to code one survey — you don’t want them inside the whole workspace
  • A colleague is responsible for uploading new files — but shouldn’t edit your topics
  • Your manager needs visibility on one project — not all projects
Roles alone can’t handle these cases. Object-level permissions fill that gap.

Permission inheritance

Caplena’s sharing logic follows a simple hierarchy. Project access → Report access - If a user can access a project, they automatically gain access to all reports in that project, all views in those reports, and any related exports. Report access → Report views - If a user can view a report, they automatically see all its views. However, report access does not grant project access or expose raw data — report users cannot inspect answers unless explicitly granted project permissions. This lets you safely share reports without exposing sensitive underlying data.

Ownership rules

Object owner — the person who created the project or report always has full control and cannot have permissions removed (only ownership transferred). Root organization user — the master account of your company always sees everything and cannot be restricted or removed.
