People and access
People & access holds Owners and Access, open by default, then Activity, which stays closed until you open it. You need Full access, which owners and admins have, to change owners or grants. View and Edit can see the lists and cannot change them.
Owners
Section titled “Owners”Each owner is listed with initials and a name, including a muted “Deactivated” where it applies. Pick someone under Owner and choose Add owner. When every eligible member is already an owner, the picker says “Everyone eligible is already an owner.”
Open Actions for that owner and choose Remove to remove them. The last owner cannot be removed. Crimple says “A contract needs at least one owner. Add another owner before removing this one.”
Reassign says “Reassign replaces the current owner.” Pick New owner and choose Reassign. You can add up to 50 owners.
Access
Section titled “Access”The section says “Grant View or Edit. Full access comes only from being an owner or an admin.” Pick a person, choose View or Edit, then choose Grant access. Nobody can grant Full.
Remove access asks “Remove {person}’s access?” and says “They can still open it if a team or ownership gives them access.” Revoking removes only that grant.
The list shows teams with “From the contract type”, and people with their own View or Edit. It says “Admins can always open this contract.” With no one of their own, and without Full access, it says “No people have their own access yet.”
Granting, revoking, adding an owner, removing an owner, and reassigning each show “Access updated.”
Activity
Section titled “Activity”Open Activity for this contract’s history, newest first. It uses the same action filter and Export CSV as Audit Centre. The history loads when you open Activity, including after a page reload, and again when you open People & access while Activity is already open.
It also reloads after a status change, a file upload, download, preview, or removal, a note or task change, and an owner or access change, without a browser reload. A preview reloads the list when the content request returns a signed URL. The automatic document pane on Contract does not write a preview row.
Each row shows the action name, such as Contract created or File uploaded, and then the sentence. A rename says “{actor} renamed the contract from {previous} to {next}.” Any other field save says “{actor} changed the contract details.” The line does not repeat the field values. Secrets are not shown.
