Frequently asked questions about sharing and permission settings in BuildBetter
Sharing Controls
Access Management
By default, recording access is limited to:
- The meeting organizer
- Users specifically invited to the meeting (if enabled in your settings)
- Workspace administrators (if enabled in your organization’s settings)
This restrictive default access model ensures recordings are only available to those who need them. You can modify these default settings to match your organization’s requirements.
BuildBetter offers several ways to share recordings:
- Internal sharing: Grant access to specific team members or groups
- Link sharing: Create shareable links with optional password protection
- Workspace sharing: Make recordings available to everyone in a workspace
- External sharing: Securely share with people outside your organization
- Integration sharing: Push recording data to integrated systems (CRM, etc.)
Each sharing method includes customizable permission settings.
BuildBetter offers granular permission controls:
- View only: Can watch/listen to recordings and view transcripts
- Comment: View plus ability to add comments and annotations
- Edit: Comment plus ability to edit transcripts and metadata
- Share: Edit plus ability to share with others
- Manage: Full control including deletion and permission management
- Special permissions: Custom permission sets for specific use cases
Permissions can be set at the individual, group, or organizational level.
Yes. BuildBetter provides complete control over access management:
- Revoke access for specific users or groups at any time
- Expire shared links automatically or manually
- Track who has accessed shared content
- Receive notifications for access events
- Audit access history to maintain compliance
All permission changes take effect immediately across all devices and platforms.
Sharing Features
Yes. BuildBetter allows for selective sharing:
- Share specific time segments of recordings
- Share only certain topics or discussion points
- Create custom clips with just the relevant content
- Export specific portions as standalone files
- Generate focused summaries of key sections
This targeted sharing helps recipients focus on relevant content while maintaining privacy for the rest of the meeting.
External sharing options include:
- Guest access: Create temporary accounts for external users
- Secure links: Generate password-protected or time-limited links
- Export files: Create standalone files in standard formats
- Embedded players: Embed secure players in other platforms
- Integration sharing: Share via connected third-party tools
External sharing includes additional security controls to protect sensitive content.
Yes. When sharing, you can customize the recipient’s experience:
- Show/hide the transcript
- Include/exclude comments and annotations
- Show/hide metadata and tags
- Enable/disable downloads
- Show/hide speaker information
- Include/exclude AI-generated summaries
- Redact sensitive information selectively
These controls help you share appropriate information while protecting sensitive content.
Yes. Enterprise customers can integrate with Identity Providers (IdP) for:
- Role-based access synchronized with your IdP
- Group-based permissions that reflect your organization structure
- Single Sign-On (SSO) for seamless access
- Automated permission updates based on organizational changes
- Centralized access management and reporting
Supported IdP systems include Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, and other SAML/OAuth providers.
Organization Controls
Workspace permissions operate at several levels:
- Organization-wide settings: Global policies set by administrators
- Workspace-specific settings: Policies for specific teams or departments
- Folder permissions: Access controls for groups of related recordings
- Individual recording permissions: Settings for specific content
This hierarchical approach allows for both consistent policy enforcement and flexible exceptions when needed.
Administrator capabilities depend on your organization’s configuration:
- Standard setting: Admins can access all content for management purposes
- Privacy-focused setting: Admin access requires approval or is logged for audit
- Restricted setting: Certain content can be protected even from administrators
These options allow you to balance administrative needs with privacy requirements.
Role-based access control can be configured through:
- Predefined roles: Use BuildBetter’s default role templates
- Custom roles: Create organization-specific roles with tailored permissions
- Group synchronization: Align with existing groups from your directory service
- Automated assignments: Set rules for automatic role assignment
- Inheritance controls: Define how permissions propagate through your hierarchy
Enterprise customers have access to advanced RBAC features for complex organizations.

- Access verification for each playback session
- Watermarking to identify the source of any leaks

Best Practices
Our recommended sharing best practices include:
- Least privilege principle: Share with the minimum necessary permissions
- Time-limited access: Set expiration dates when appropriate
- Regular audits: Periodically review who has access to what
- Clear labeling: Use descriptive names for shared content
- Segment sharing: Share only relevant portions when possible
- Permission templates: Create consistent permission sets for common scenarios
Following these practices helps maintain security while enabling collaboration.
Yes. We recommend creating a formal sharing policy that addresses:
- Who is authorized to share recordings
- Appropriate recipients for different content types
- Required approval processes (if any)
- Permitted sharing methods
- Prohibited sharing scenarios
- Handling of sensitive information
- Content classification guidelines
BuildBetter provides policy templates that you can customize for your organization.
