On June 19, as part of the CNews FORUM conference Cases: IT Leaders' Experience, CEO of the super app for business eXpress Andrey Vratsky presented a group of functions "role model" for corporate communications.
"If chats - then uniform for all use cases. Users do not want to log into several systems," - with this thought Andrey Vratsky began his speech. This is why eXpress has implemented a unique Federation protocol, which allows for correspondence both with colleagues-corporate users within the company's contour, and with partners-public users of the application outside of it. This is where risks of exchanging business-critical information arise: the protected information is sent to the wrong person (from the KSPD to a mobile device, to internal users without the appropriate level of access, or even to external users), a viral attachment gets into the internal communication, and so on.
The role model in the communication platform protects against such scenarios. A group of functions that have recently been introduced to the market in eXpress prevents data leakage outside the corporate environment, simplifies the process of setting up restrictions on working with files for employees and partners of the company, and in the future will allow managing access even to individual application functions.
In his speech, Andrey Vratsky gave examples of using the eXpress role model:
- Warning in chats about the participation of external users,
- Prohibition of sending files of a certain type to chats with external users,
- Prohibition of sending files to chats with users of a specific group in the corporate directory,
- Restriction on access to attachments depending on where the user is connecting from,
- Prohibition on saving attachments from external users, and so on.

Andrey Vratsky also discussed the development paths of the role model: it can be used in smart apps, in video conferencing sessions (prohibitions of such functions as screen sharing, restriction of access to documents in the chat) and even be extended to mobile devices (forced installation of a PIN code, prohibition of screenshots of individual application screens).
Managing user access by the role model has recently been one of the key wishes of eXpress customers. Starting with application version 3.16, this group of functions has been successfully launched into operation.
