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.

### **How Jestor applies governance**

This is where Jestor stands out by delivering the solution in practice:

- **RBAC (Role-Based Access Control):** Define permissions based on role (e.g., "Salespeople" only see their own leads).
- **Audit Logs:** Know who changed the automation rule or deleted a record.
- **Edit Lock:** Prevent employees from changing historical or financial data.
- **Record Owners:** Automatically assign a responsible person for each created record.
