Hello Moveworks Admins,
We're excited to announce that Permission Checker will be available in the Ingested Knowledge and Files screen on 21th January 2026.
đ What is Permission Checker?
The Permission Checker tool allows Moveworks admins to verify whether a specific user has access to specific knowledge base articles or files by selecting or providing a userâs email address.
Â
đ When to use Permission Checker?
- A user complains that they cannot find information from specific KB articles or files in their search results, even though they should have access
- Admins have changed permissions, group memberships, or ACL rules in source system and want to confirm they are reflected in Moveworks
- After updating permission rules in Moveworks, admins need to validate that content permissions are reflected correctly
- Need to verify that new employees/UAT users can access expected content records
- Admins want to audit that sensitive HR, legal, or financial documents are only accessible to authorized personnel and not exposed to unauthorized users
