Expiry & Privacy Controls
Written By Christopher Lee
Last updated 6 months ago
Knobase includes built-in expiry and privacy controls to help schools manage the lifecycle of sensitive data, including student reports, chat histories, and uploaded documents. These controls ensure that information is retained only as long as necessary, and that access is governed by clear, role-based policies.
Whether you're archiving old report cards, setting expiration dates for temporary agents, or managing document visibility, Knobase gives administrators full control over what stays, what disappears, and who can see it.
🧠 Why It Matters
✅ Prevents long-term storage of outdated or sensitive data
✅ Supports compliance with school data retention policies
✅ Protects student privacy across academic years
✅ Enables safe sharing and automatic expiration of temporary content
⚙️ How It Works
📁 Document Expiry Settings
Set expiration dates for uploaded files (e.g., worksheets, reports, rubrics)
Files are automatically archived or deleted after expiry
Useful for term-based content or temporary assessments
🧑🏫 Agent Expiry Controls
Configure agents to expire after a set period (e.g., end of semester)
Prevents outdated agents from being used in future terms
Archived agents can be reactivated or cloned for future use
🔐 Privacy Controls
Restrict access to specific users, roles, or class groups
Hide sensitive reports from students or parents until approved
Enable “view-only” mode for certain documents or dashboards
🗂️ Data Lifecycle Management
Admins can bulk archive or delete inactive student accounts
Reports can be retained for a defined academic cycle (e.g., 1 year)
All actions are logged in the audit trail for transparency
