Core control principles
Permissions should be workflow-specific
A lead-research workflow may need read access to CRM records and approved public sources; it does not automatically need the ability to send email or edit unrelated systems.
Higher-impact workflows need stronger controls
The consequence of error should determine approval, evaluation and monitoring requirements. Employment, financial, legal, safety or other high-impact actions require additional scrutiny beyond a generic automation checklist.
What this page does not claim
This page describes product design principles. It does not claim certifications, regulatory compliance or controls that have not been independently verified. Formal security documentation should evolve with the production system.
Frequently asked questions
Does SparksOps start read-only?
The intended design is to prefer read-only discovery where possible and request additional permissions only for a defined implementation.
Does this page mean SparksOps is certified?
No. This page describes design principles and explicitly does not claim certifications that have not been verified.
Should every AI workflow have a human approval step?
Not necessarily. Approval should be risk-based. Low-impact reversible tasks can support more automation than high-impact or hard-to-reverse actions.
