Problem
A creator revokes the contractor's cloud-drive access but forgets the review-platform account, leaving old previews and comments accessible.
Solution
Root Cause / Diagnostic:
Siloed asset ecosystems create fragmented permission states where cloud storage is secured but collaboration platforms (Frame.io, Vimeo Review) remain open. Departing contractors can still access, view, and screen-record embargoed client cuts via lingering review links.
Actionable Fix:
1. Maintain a master 'Access Matrix' spreadsheet documenting every platform seat (Cloud Storage, Frame.io, Slack, YouTube Studio) assigned to each contractor.
2. Mandate the use of centralized project teams in review tools rather than inviting freelancers as perpetual workspace collaborators.
3. Execute offboarding systematically across the Access Matrix, requiring timestamped verification for every service deactivation.
Pro Tip:
Audit Frame.io and Vimeo Review user lists monthly; removing contractors at the team level automatically strips their access to all associated project review screeners.
