Collaborative & Secure by Default
Hardware teams don't work alone. Designers, suppliers, reviewers, and customers all need controlled access to the same artifacts — without leaking IP.
Creopus ships with role-based access control, hierarchical team permissions, a structured review workflow, and strict change control out of the box.
- Team roles on the system hierarchy — owner, editor, or viewer on any node, inherited down the tree, with separate reviewer access. New systems use the six-level NASA product breakdown structure (system → subsystem → assembly → subassembly → component → part); systems created before 25 September 2026 keep the earlier five levels.
- Public, team, and private visibility — Free-plan artifacts live in a hierarchy and are public; paid plans add private artifacts.
- Formal design reviews — severity-tagged comments (critical / major / minor / editorial), owner dispositions (accepted / rejected / deferred / noted) with an audit trail, and sign-off by tamper-evident electronic signature with step-up re-authentication.
- Strict change control after baseline — baselined documents change only through a working copy, a colored diff, and a tracked merge, for humans and the AI agent alike.
- Collaboration is never seat-gated — teammates on any plan, including Free, can review, comment, and view work shared with them.
- Your IP stays yours — customer data is never used to train models; data at rest is encrypted, with an in-region deployment mode that fails closed. See Where does my IP live?
- Secure access — JWT + Google OAuth, CSRF protection, and scoped, revocable API keys that can never do more than your account can.
