Access Configuration

Assign access controls to Document Intake Cockpit pages and choose how denied pages appear in the side menu.

Use Access Configuration to assign a required access control to each Document Intake Cockpit page. When a user does not have that access control, the page is either hidden from the side menu or visible but disabled there.

Before configuring page access, create the tenant IAM controls in Access Controls and assign them through Users and Groups. Document Intake displays those controls for selection.

The second (document view) row (for example Order (document view)) is the Managing Documents workspace opened from an inbox queue, dashboard, email, or a direct link. Hiding only the Documents row does not block opening a document. Empty Required access control still shows No restriction on that row.

Page access

Set access for each view under its side menu section:

  • Inbox – Dashboard, Email Inbox, and Upload Document, plus each saved queue under its Menu name (for example Orders or Invoices), or one Queue row for the default Inbox Queues when none are saved.

  • Documents – Two rows per configured document type: the type name (the Documents menu and list) and a (document view) row (for example Order (document view)) for the side-by-side view from an inbox queue, dashboard, email, or a direct link.

  • Configuration – Setup pages such as Document Configuration, Form Layouts, Business Rules, Branding, Substitutions, and Access Configuration itself.

  • Additional Data – One row per type from Master Data, for example Vendor or Customer.

Each row names the view, where it sits, who can open it, and what denied users see:

No restriction

If you leave Required access control empty, the row shows No restriction.

Hide page or Disable page

When you select a required access control, choose what happens for users without it:

  • Hide page – The page does not appear in the side menu for that user.

  • Disable page – The page remains visible but disabled and cannot be selected from the side menu.

Hide page is the default when you first assign an access control. Use Disable page when you want users to see the menu entry without being able to select it from the menu.

Static and dynamic pages

Dashboard, Email Inbox, and Upload Document are static Inbox pages. You can require an access control for Upload Document, then hide its side-menu entry or keep it visible but disabled for users who do not have that access.

Other rows appear automatically based on your tenant setup:

  • Document types – Each type under Documents gets two access rows: the Documents menu and list, and a (document view) row. Hiding only the Documents row does not block opening a document from an inbox queue, dashboard, email, or a direct link.

  • Inbox queues – Each saved Queue Configuration appears as its own Inbox row, and the Page column shows that queue's Menu name (for example Orders). If you have not saved any queues, one Queue row represents the default Inbox Queues.

  • Additional Data – Each type you save in Master Data (Master Data Configuration) appears as its own row under Additional Data, for example Vendor or Customer.

When you add or remove document types, queues, or master data configurations, the Access Configuration list updates to match.

Substitutions manage-all access

The list includes a special Configuration row: Substitutions – manage all records.

  • The normal Substitutions page controls who can open the substitutions area for their own coverage setup.

  • Substitutions – manage all records controls who can view and manage substitutions for other users.

For more about day-to-day substitution use, see Substitutions.

Configuring page access

1

Open Access Configuration

In the Document Intake Cockpit, go to Configuration → Access Configuration.

2

Choose the required access control

For each page you want to limit, open Required access control and select an access control from the list. Filter the list with Type to search….

Leave the field empty for pages that everyone in the cockpit can use. Empty rows show No restriction under If access is denied. The exception is Substitutions – manage all records: if that row has no access control, nobody gets the manage-all view.

Save the configuration

Select Save. The new side-menu rules apply the next time users open or refresh the cockpit.

Suggested setup patterns

Use access configuration to match how your team works:

  • Document review – Allow Inbox pages, relevant document types, and Substitutions for self-service coverage. Hide Configuration pages reviewers do not need.

  • Approvers – Allow Inbox queues, Documents, and any pages needed to review and approve. Keep setup pages hidden.

  • Administrators – Allow Configuration pages, including Access Configuration, Document Configuration, and related setup views. Assign Substitutions – manage all records only to users who maintain coverage for others.

See the Order Intake Example for a worked tenant configuration in this cockpit.
