Process Governance: How to Define Owners and Permissions in 2026

Process governance is defining "who can do what." In disorganized companies, anyone changes pricing rules or deletes a client. In mature companies, there is clarity about the Process Owner and strict permission control.

The access hierarchy

It's not about bureaucracy; it's about security and accountability.

• Administrator: Designs and changes the flow.
• Executor: Moves cards and fills in data.
• Viewer: Only consults reports (e.g., board, investors).
• External: Client or vendor with restricted access to their own order.

The risk of lack of governance

Without governance, you have "Shadow IT" (unofficial tools), leaked data, and processes changed without authorization, creating operational chaos.
