Security and Permissions
How ACL and CLP strategy secures meetings, decisions, and action items.
User-owned meeting controls
Only authorized users can update or delete meetings; others cannot modify meeting content.
Decision and action item integrity
Only authorized users can create or delete decisions and action items. Use Cloud Code for validation.
Scoped read access
Restrict meeting and decision reads to relevant parties (e.g. participants see their own meetings and related decisions).

}Build with AI Agent
Use the Back4app AI Agent to generate a real meeting records app from this template, including frontend, backend, auth, and meeting, decision, and action item flows.
Create a meeting records app backend on Back4app with this exact schema and behavior. Schema: 1. Meeting: title (String, required), date (Date, required), participants (Array of User, required), agenda (String, optional); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt (system). 2. Decision: meeting (Pointer to Meeting, required), description (String, required), outcome (String, optional); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt (system). 3. ActionItem: decision (Pointer to Decision, required), assignee (Pointer to User, required), dueDate (Date, required), status (String: pending, completed, required); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt (system). Security: - Only authorized users can update/delete meetings. Only authorized users can create/delete decisions and action items. Use Cloud Code for validation. Auth: - Sign-up, login, logout. Behavior: - List meetings, document decisions, generate action items, and track progress. Deliver: - Back4app app with schema, ACLs, CLPs; frontend for meetings, decisions, and action items.
