Sorry for the unclear use of terminolgy. What refer to is actually ‘visibility access’ and your answer is on Fibery’s entity-level action control. Fibery can manage _what a user can do_ to an entity, but not entirely _whether they can see it_ .

In this post I focused mainly on the individual ‘private data’ but I realize that this will soon already be possible when the next level of ‘entity level permisisons’ is rolled out in Q1/Q2 this year. See [AntonioKovs comment here](https://community.fibery.io/t/in-dev-entity-level-permissions/2163/110)

This is likely the most wanted feature in Fibery as far as I can see. Because of:

- **HR Information:** Employee records, performance reviews, salary data, health information. Limiting visibility ensures only authorized HR personnel have access.
- **Financial Data:** Detailed financial reports, budgets, and internal projections should be restricted to relevant teams and executives.
- **Client Data:** Protecting client contact information, project details, and confidential agreements requires visibility restrictions.
- **Intellectual Property:** Safeguarding trade secrets, patents, and development plans often necessitates strict visibility controls.

### Whether visibility access is enough

If Fibery implements visibility access as expected, users will be able to manage data privacy more effectively; they could restrict who can see specific entities. Still:

- Admins might still have overarching access.
- Visibility control isn’t the same as encryption. For extremely sensitive data, additional security measures may be needed.

I will close this topic because at least visibility access is already on the roadmap, and that may shed light on further features regarding sensitive data.
