Remote reviewer working through a video call and laptop.

Trust

Staff, collaborators and reviewers each have the access they need.

Staff manage the organisation’s work. Invited collaborators see the meetings shared with them. Private review links provide a focused route to a particular draft.

01 Workspace users

Board support and authorised workspace users manage source material, drafts, decisions, and exports.

02 Collaborators

Attendees and service providers use their shared workspace or a scoped private review link.

03 Controls

Expiry, revocation, replacement links, comments, uploads, and no-comment confirmations are visible.

Access control

Workspace users, directors and service providers need different access.

Boardmate separates the people managing the minutes workflow from the people who only need to review a draft, comment on a passage, upload support or confirm that they have no comments.

Customer setup Select the AWS region, identity provider, named users and reviewer access for the workspace.
Security review

Current data-flow, supplier, retention, deletion and control information is available for customer review.

Workspace users

Authorised users manage files, draft generation, reviewer invitations, comment decisions, regeneration, exports and audit history.

Reviewers

Directors, attendees, lawyers or service providers can be given scoped access to the draft they need to review.

Collaborators

Invited accounts can return to the shared meetings, published minutes and requests allowed by their current invitation.

Link control

Expiry, revocation, replacement links, outstanding responses, uploads and confirmations stay visible.

Decision control

Reviewer input does not change the minutes until the chair or delegated owner accepts it.

01

Managed users

Board support or authorised administrators manage source material, drafts, invitations, reviewer status, accepted feedback and final exports.

The operational record should not depend on shared accounts or inbox memory.
02

Collaborators and reviewers

Use a private link for a focused draft review, or sign in as an invited collaborator to return to the meetings and requests shared with you.

Reviewer access is designed around the review task, not full workspace membership.
03

Review close

Expiry, revocation, replacement links, outstanding responses, chair decisions and final export history support a clean review close.

Board support can see who still has access and what remains unresolved.

Invited collaborators have their own workspace

A confirmed account matched to a meeting invitation can return to the shared meetings and requests. Access follows the organiser’s invitation, role, expiry and revocation settings. A collaborator account does not give access to the organisation’s wider fund records.

Workspace users

Board support and authorised workspace users manage source material, drafts, decisions, and exports.

The right access for the job

An attendee can review a draft without becoming a full workspace user. Board support keeps control of source material, chair decisions, regeneration, export, and the audit record while reviewers use narrower access.

Workspace user

Uploads files, manages drafts, moderates feedback, regenerates, exports, and keeps the record.

Reviewer

Reads the relevant draft, comments on passages, uploads support, or confirms no comments.

Chair or delegate

Decides which feedback shapes the next version.

Revocation matters

Review links are limited access points with expiry, revocation, replacement, and audit history. A team can see how a link is issued, what the reviewer can see, what happens when access changes, and how the review round closes.

  • Issue links for the relevant draft and review action.
  • Record opens, comments, uploads, confirmations, outstanding responses, and revocations.
  • Close or replace access when the reviewer changes.

Common questions

Security questions teams ask.

Should confidential material be uploaded before security review is complete?

No. Real board packs, transcripts, recordings, draft minutes, and support files should wait until confidentiality and data-handling terms are agreed.

What can reviewers see through private links?

Reviewers see the draft and permitted support material for their review task. Workspace users keep control of source material, decisions, regeneration, export, and deletion requests.

What security detail can procurement request?

Teams can request current detail on data flow, subprocessors, access control, retention, deletion, support access, residency questions, and contract terms.
