Permissions and safety
Claude only acts inside the organization you choose when you connect it, and only with your role's permissions — Viewers can only read. Every edit Claude makes is saved as a page revision authored Claude (MCP), so you can see exactly what changed and restore any earlier version. Before Claude replaces a page's text, it keeps a snapshot of the current content so nothing is lost.
