Cases that should escalate immediately

Escalate when the request involves identity mismatch, former staff access, unclear approver authority, or sensitive permission broadening.

Escalate when the request could expose financial, pastoral, or people-data visibility beyond what the church expected.

How to keep the request safe

Describe the access problem, the affected role, and the business consequence without sharing unnecessary sensitive detail in broad chat.

Use a narrower intake or review path when the case needs verification, not just explanation.
