What is a System?

A system is an area of the platform that entities are created into and exist in. When in a system, you have access to all of the entities within that system. As a user, you can only access systems that you are a member of.

​
How do admin permissions?

We have 2 levels of admin permissions:
  • Organization admins - Org admins can create systems, add and remove users from systems, and edit user’s permissions within the systems.
  • System admins - System admins can edit system settings, such as that system’s homepage and view groups. They also have powers within the system eg. can bypass review requirements.

​
How does access between systems work?

You can configure one system to have read-only access into another. In the system given access, all members will then be able to:
  • See entities from both systems in views and the search page
  • Reference entities from the other system
  • Create entities from types/templates belonging to the other system into submission and reference fields.
Access between systems can be revoked at any time but be aware that this may lead to inaccessible references and submission fields which cannot add new rows. On your Seal homepage you’re able to see a visual overview of all your systems and their configured access: Screenshot 2025-09-24 at 15.58.15.png
