Changes

This PR adds documentation for property-level access controls introduced in PostHog/posthog#54795.

What's documented:

  • New "4. Property level" section explaining how to restrict access to specific event and person properties
  • Three access levels: Read & write (default), Read, and None
  • Access hierarchy: User-specific rules > Role-specific rules > Default property rule
  • Use case: Hiding sensitive PII like credit card numbers or ID numbers from unauthorized users

Updates made:

  1. Updated intro paragraph to mention four levels of access control (organization, project, resource, and property)
  2. Updated the note about unsupported features to link to the new property-level section
  3. Added comprehensive "4. Property level" section after the Resource level section

This PR was created by the Inkeep Content Writer agent, which is maintained by the Docs and Wizard team. Please reach out on Slack for help if needed.
