Who can see and do what in Quorum storage

Quorum storage is a shared workspace library. Everyone signs in with their own account, and what each person can do depends on their role in the workspace. Knowing the boundaries up front makes it easy to decide who should hold which role.

Visibility inside a workspace

Files belong to the workspace, not to individuals. Everyone in your workspace can see and read the workspace's files, which is what lets briefings draw on shared material without per-file sharing steps. Files are strictly separated between workspaces. No other Quorum customer can ever see your files, and every request is checked against the workspace it belongs to.

What members can do

Workspace members can:

  • upload files and folders
  • download any file in the workspace
  • create folders, move files and rename folders
  • see live indexing status for every file

Members cannot delete files. This keeps a growing library safe from accidental loss while still letting everyone contribute.

What workspace admins can do

Workspace owners and admins can do everything members can, plus:

  • delete files, individually or in bulk
  • see and manage the Connections tab, including connecting Microsoft 365, running Sync now, Force resync and Disconnect
  • change the security setting Sync personal files ("My Files")
  • ask us for the workspace's security audit trail, which we retain and can provide on request

If you open the Connections tab without admin rights, you will see "Document-source connections are managed by workspace admins."

Automated services

Quorum's own briefing pipeline reads file content only in connection with work a person in your workspace initiated, such as generating a podcast. These automated reads are recorded in your workspace's audit trail so admins can always see what was accessed and why. We cannot show the audit trail to non-admin members, so ask a workspace admin if you need that history.
