Access control is managed via **[Page Access Control Roles](/docs/access-control/access-control)**.

***

## 🧩 Developer Notes

* App and site metadata is stored in the **Activity Classification Service**
* Domains and app names are normalized for consistent classification
* Policies are cached and synced to analytics pipelines hourly
* API validation rules:
  * Productivity rating must be enum (`productive | neutral | unproductive`)
  * Ignore idle must be boolean
  * Domain/app name must be unique per organization

***

## ⚠️ Best Practices

* Classify core work tools as **Productive**
* Keep social media and entertainment as **Unproductive**
* Use **Neutral** for email and general tools
* Enable **Ignore Idle** for meeting tools (Zoom, Meet, Teams)
* Review classification monthly for accuracy
