Accelerate add-in permission sync for documents

Access reliability often depends on systems that agree before a lawyer notices the gap.

Faster propagation can compete with the controls needed to keep matter access precise.

The approval says I have access, but the document still acts like I don’t.

Sami Arslan · Senior Corporate Counsel

Reviews transaction documents through an Outlook add-in tied to restricted matter workspaces.

What pulls against what

  • faster propagation vs. least privilege
  • event replay vs. ordering integrity
  • rollout timing vs. validation depth
  • shared ownership vs. clear operational boundaries

What is at stake

Delayed permissions interrupt governed legal work across document surfaces. The team must improve propagation without weakening access controls

Why Harvey

For Harvey, access consistency often matters most where legal work moves between product surfaces.

This is the setup. The work is inside.

Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
