Resident vault vs Document vault: which to use?
Plinth separates resident-owned files from committee-published society records so personal PII never mixes with AGM minutes on the same shelf.
Three layers
| Layer | Route | Who uploads | Who reads | On flat unclaim |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Personal vault | /me/vault → Personal | Resident | Uploader only | Retained |
| Flat documents | /me/vault → Flat | Resident | Flat residents ± admins | Purged |
| Document Vault | /documents / /admin/documents | Admins | Published members (or admins only) | Unchanged |
Examples
Document Vault (committee)
- Registered bye-laws, AGM minutes, audited financials members may inspect
- Insurance policy copies the committee publishes for all owners
- Draft treasurer spreadsheets (admins only, unpublished)
Personal vault (resident)
- Your rent agreement and HRA receipts
- Personal insurance not published society-wide
- ID copies you keep for convenience (not election credentials)
Flat documents (resident, flat-scoped)
- Leave-and-license for your tenant (flat + committee visibility)
- Modification NOC pack shared with co-owners (flat residents only)
FAQ
Can admins see my personal vault? No. Zero admin read path for personal scope.
Can admins see flat + committee files? Yes — when you choose that visibility. Flat files delete when the flat is unclaimed.
Should the secretary upload bye-laws to My vault? No — use Admin → Documents and publish for members.
