Short answer

How can I audit my workspace permissions with AI?

Your AI pulls current member lists and access group definitions to map your organizational structure. You can then ask questions about specific users or group memberships to find permission gaps.

Audit outcomes

What you'll find

The data your AI pulls leads to these specific results.

MEMBERS

User lists

The AI pulls a full list of everyone in the workspace. You'll see exactly who has an active account.

GROUPS

Access maps

Your agent retrieves all defined access groups. This shows how permissions are organized.

SECURITY

Permission gaps

By comparing members to groups, your AI flags users who might have access they shouldn't have.

HUMAN

Manual cleanup

The AI identifies the issues, but you have to go into the workspace settings to actually change permissions.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

Your agent uses specific tools to pull the data you need for your audit.

  1. Fetch members

    The AI scans the workspace to find every registered member.

  2. Fetch groups

  3. Map access

    The AI cross-references members with their assigned groups to build a permission map.
