# Introduction

> ScopeRAG answers questions over your organization's documents, limited to each user's allowed scope.

ScopeRAG helps your team find answers across company documents while respecting classification levels, group membership, and who is allowed to see what. Every answer stays within the signed-in user's approved scope.

## How access works

ScopeRAG does not search the whole library for every user.

* **Owners and administrators** can manage the organization and typically have broader document access.
* **Users** only retrieve documents their groups allow: a classification level, selected categories, and optional upload permission.
* **Chat filters** (classification, category, tags) further narrow retrieval, but they cannot expand access beyond your groups.

<Info>
  If a file does not appear in Documents or never shows up as a chat source, the usual cause is group access, not a missing search index.
