# Security

> Understand the controls that help teams govern data, access, AI model usage, integrations, and review.

# Security

Odella is built for teams that need AI Employees to work with business information safely. Security is not a separate layer from the product: it shapes how workers are onboarded, what they can access, which workflows they can run, and how outputs are reviewed.

## Security model

Use security settings to decide how your team works with Odella.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Model provider controls">
    Choose which AI model providers are available in your workspace. This lets your organization align model usage with internal policies, client requirements, and risk tolerance.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Data and knowledge access">
    Control what documents, stores, integrations, and workflows each worker can use. Workers should only receive access that supports their role and responsibilities.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Integration permissions">
    Review each connected tool and ensure access matches the work being performed. For example, a document drafting worker may need template and document access, while a finance worker may need accounting-related integrations.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Review and audit practices">
    Build review checkpoints into workflows where human judgment is required. Use work history and workflow runs to understand what happened and improve the process over time.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Recommended security practices

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start with a narrow role">
    Give each worker a focused responsibility instead of broad access to everything in your workspace.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect only what is needed">
    Attach the minimum set of workflows, templates, documents, and integrations required for the worker's job.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review early outputs">
    Check early work carefully and update instructions before expanding responsibilities.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Keep humans in approval paths">
    For sensitive or high-impact tasks, keep a human review step before the output is used externally or relied on internally.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Security improves when workers are treated like team members with defined roles: clear responsibilities, appropriate access, and regular review.
