Who reads Contentful rows

In Contentful, a member of a space reads its content within the limits of their space roles. A role can limit reads to some content types, entries, tags or environments. A space admin reads everything in the space.While your Workspace turns on Enforce source permissions, and on a table where a Provider Policy rule reads Source permissions (Source permissions), each member reads only these Contentful rows:
  • Only space admins read space content. Parable does not evaluate role policies, so it cannot tell which part of a space a member who is not an admin can read. Such a member reads no row of the space. A membership with no admin value counts as not an admin. To give them access, write a Provider Policy rule for their Parable role.
  • Parable matches each member to their Contentful user by the email they sign in with. A member with no active Contentful user reads no Contentful row. A user who has not activated their Contentful account reads no row. A user whose activation state Contentful does not return reads no row either.
  • An organization Owner or Admin who is not a space admin reads no row of that space.
  • When someone leaves a space, loses the admin flag, or a space is removed, the space’s rows close after the next sync of spaces and space_members, with no action from you.
  • The other streams are not modeled yet. While source permissions are on, every member who can read a table reads all of its rows. Keep them off, or set a Provider Policy on each before you turn it on.
  • People with All data access read every row. Each such read is recorded in your Workspace’s audit events.
