Workspace governance
Inside a single organization, the in-product Governance hub is a coordination layer: a single page that surfaces the most-touched governance tools as a list of entry points. It doesn’t enforce anything on its own; each tool below has its own settings area, permissions, and documentation.
The hub lives at Governance in the workspace navigation.
What the hub groups
| Tool | Documented in |
|---|---|
| Classifications | Classification |
| Forms | Forms |
| Responsibilities | Responsibilities |
| Party lifecycles | Lifecycles |
| Party eligibility | Eligibility |
| Public sessions | Public Sessions and (workspace-admin perspective) Public Access |
| Review & approval | Review & Approval |
Five of these — forms, responsibilities, lifecycles, eligibility, public sessions, plus review-approval and party types — fit together as the party governance story. See Party Governance for the full picture of how they compose.
The bigger Governance picture
The Governance section of the docs covers more than the in-product hub:
- Modules — the 34 governance foundation modules (controls, risks, evidence, assessments, monitoring, indicators, etc.).
- AI Governance — the dedicated suite for governing AI use.
- Automation — the cross-cutting orchestration layer.
- Party Governance — the end-to-end story of external-party governance.
- Cross-organization governance — the multi-organization model for Sovereign installs.
- Classification — sensitivity levels.
The in-product hub is one entry point. The docs sections above are the depth.
What the hub does not do
A few clarifications:
- The hub doesn’t enforce permissions. Each grouped tool enforces its own (see Roles & Permissions).
- The hub doesn’t aggregate state across the grouped tools. Each tool keeps its own state; the hub just helps people find them.
- The hub is not the only entry to these tools. Every grouped surface is also reachable from its own area of the navigation.
