What Is a Society Document Vault?

What is a society document vault?

A society document vault is a private, committee-controlled library where official society records — bye-laws, AGM minutes, audited financials, resolutions, certificates, contracts, insurance policies, and SOPs — are stored in one place instead of scattered across WhatsApp drives, email threads, and filing cabinets. Residents access only what the committee publishes; downloads use short-lived signed URLs, not public links.

On Plinth, admins upload and manage documents at Admin → Documents (/admin/documents). Residents browse published member-visible files at Documents (/documents). Categories include byelaws, minutes, financials, resolutions, certificates, contracts, insurance, sop, and other. Visibility is admins_only or members; a document must be published before residents can see member-visible files. Downloads are served via 120-second signed URLs (25 MB limit; PDF, images, and Office documents).

Part of Plinth's Governance tier — alongside voting, notices, and AGM management. See pricing.
