Join 2,400+ teams saving 10+ hours monthly on permission management. No credit card required.
Permission Management Shouldn't Take All Day
Every new hire, team restructure, or template addition means hours of manual permission clicks. Your current approach doesn't scale—and compliance audits expose the gaps.
Hours Lost to Manual Work
Onboarding a new team member means clicking through dozens of templates individually. Restructuring your team? That's a full day of permission reassignment.
Compliance Risk from Inconsistency
Without automated inheritance, permission standards drift. Auditors find undocumented access or approval gaps that put your organization at risk.
Permission Management Doesn't Scale
As your team grows from 10 people to 100, permission workload grows exponentially. One admin can't keep up without hiring extra help.
We know you're doing your best to keep permissions organized. But manual template-by-template access assignment was never designed to scale.
What Permission Inheritance Actually Delivers
Automate permission inheritance from parent folders to child templates. What took 45 minutes per new hire now takes 5 minutes. Set once, scale infinitely.

Teams Are Reclaiming Hours Every Week
Hear how AlpacaRelay helps marketers, designers, and founders create better emails together.
“Before AlpacaRelay, onboarding a new designer meant 45 minutes of clicking through templates to grant access. Now it takes 5 minutes. We've saved over 200 hours in the first year alone. It's been transformative for how we scale.”
Sarah Chen
Operations Manager, Creative Agency Plus
“Our compliance auditor was impressed. We went from manually documenting permission changes to having a complete, immutable audit trail. When they asked about template access controls, we had everything they needed ready to export. Zero findings.”
Marcus Rodriguez
Compliance Officer, HealthTech Solutions
“We manage permissions for 500 people across 12 departments. What would have required three people to manage manually is now one person's responsibility—and they're barely busy. Permission inheritance just works, and our team can focus on actual marketing strategy.”

After implementing AlpacaRelay's immutable audit trail and inheritance structure
Permission inheritance sets baseline rules at the parent level, but you can override permissions for specific templates without breaking the inheritance chain. For example, brand templates inherit from the Marketing Department level, but sensitive compliance templates can have additional restrictions. Overrides are documented in audit logs, so you maintain full visibility and control.
AlpacaRelay integrates with Azure AD, Okta, Google Workspace, and other major directory services. When you add a new user to your directory, AlpacaRelay automatically assigns them the appropriate permission level based on their organizational unit and role. If your system isn't pre-built, our API enables custom integration in 2-4 hours.
We provide migration tools and dedicated onboarding support. Our Permission Structure Analyzer maps your current permissions to a recommended inheritance hierarchy. Most mid-size teams complete full migration in 3-5 days. During transition, you can run both platforms side-by-side for 30 days. We handle the heavy lifting—you just review and confirm.
Yes. Our audit logs capture user identity, timestamp to the second, specific permission changes, and previous values. Logs are immutable and can't be edited or deleted. We're SOC 2 Type II certified, and GDPR/HIPAA compliance features (data residency, retention policies, access controls) are built-in. Exports are available in audit-friendly formats ready for regulatory review.
Yes. Once you set up inheritance rules at the organizational level, everything cascades automatically. A single admin maintains those rules, adds/removes users (usually automated via directory sync), and handles exceptions. Most admins spend 1-2 hours per week on permission management once inheritance is configured, regardless of team size.
For a typical organization, setup takes 15-30 minutes using our wizard. You map your org structure (5 min), define permission levels (7 min), set inheritance rules (10 min), and confirm (3 min). If you have complex custom permission needs, add 15-20 minutes for exception configuration. After that, inheritance runs automatically.
Permission inheritance automatically updates child resources when parent permissions change. For example, if a department splits into two teams, you restructure that in AlpacaRelay, and all subordinate templates and users automatically receive updated permissions based on the new hierarchy. Updates happen in real-time—no manual sync required.
