At my workplace we use lots of different tools and systems. No one has access to everything because of licensing costs. SAP Business One is the main ERP but to have part numbers added to the database, engineers use a separate ticket system like Jira to instruct the finance people how to do the data entry in SAP. Code is in Gitlab. Docs are in Sharepoint. Every department has their own kingdom and manages documents in Sharepoint differently with access restrictions frustrating everyone. Some documents are too sensitive to be put in Sharepoint, which makes for even more frustration.

What I am planning, is to make not with license, because You may not pay in time and lose all access, but to pay once, teach workers, support if needed, and then let go. Probably, I will think about it more in future, but for now either like this, or with only yearly subscription. Our solution still should solve access restrictions. If You are in the list of "valid" identities - You can read and write the data.

We can make a separation by departments also, however would You mind sharing what exactly is wrong with access restrictions?
