What is an entitlement and how is it different from a permission?

The distinction matters when the same content is reachable through several routes. A permission enforced at one interface does not travel to another, which is how an organization ends up with content correctly restricted in a document system and freely retrievable through an assistant indexing the same repository.

Centralpoint attaches entitlement to the record itself, using the same assignments that already govern document access. Because there is one set of assignments rather than a document copy and an AI copy, a compliance change lands everywhere at once — and the familiar gap between what a repository restricts and what an assistant will happily retrieve does not open.
