Scoped project access
Assign each portal user to selected projects/sites so they only see relevant site information.

Business site portal
Give people on site the details they need, without giving them the office account.
Business includes a site portal for assigned workers, subcontractors, visitors and other site participants. They can see their project/site details, files, generated documents and check-in status from the browser.

What the site portal covers

Where it helps and where it doesn't
Pros
- Assigned portal users see only their project/site information
- Workers, subcontractors, visitors and other site participants are separate from internal team seats
- Portal users can view site details, procedures, files and generated documents
- Magic-link access works in a mobile browser without native app rollout
Cons
- No native mobile app — the portal runs in the browser
- Portal users are scoped to active project access; complex cross-project permissions need setup
- Formal client approval workflows are not included in the first release

Site portal questions
Do portal users count as internal team seats?
No. Business includes up to 5 internal team logins for office or management users, plus up to 25 active site portal users. Portal users are designed for workers, subcontractors, visitors and other people who need controlled access to site information without account settings or billing access.
Does the portal require a native mobile app?
No. The portal is part of the main web product and runs in the browser. Magic links or QR-style access can keep site access low-friction, while logged-in users are routed according to whether they are internal team members or portal users.
What can a portal user see?
A portal user only sees the projects/sites they are assigned to. The first release shows site details, site files, procedures, generated documents and check-in/check-out. They cannot access billing, account settings, unrelated projects or admin routes.
