Currently, it’s really hard for me as an admin to see what entities and documents my team members can access and which they cannot. We’re a small team of 10ish folks, but have a large amount of spaces with all kinds of overlapping venn-diagram-esque access rights. Again and again I realise that fol…

Just note that things might get complex when “Hide data from admin” is implemented. Would the admin see the user’s data when logged in as the user?
