Company-scoped access

How visibility works in Vellum, and what isn't supported.

What's shared#

Vellum's permissions are scoped to the **company**, not the project. Everyone who's part of your company sees:

  • All projects (including those they're not assigned to).
  • All clients.
  • All events on the firm-wide calendar.
  • All locations and project types.

Filtering is available on every listing — you can narrow projects by location, by responsible employee, by client, or by state — but visibility itself is firm-wide.

What isn't#

There's **no per-project sharing control**. You can't show a project to one team member while hiding it from others. If two co-located teams need separate visibility, the workaround today is to set them up as separate locations and rely on per-location filtering — knowing they can still see across.

There's also no per-document sharing control. A file marked as visible to a client is visible to all of that client's portal logins (currently one login per client).
