BOSTON, MA, June 11, 2026 – DealRoom, the AI-powered operating system for Buyer-Led M&A, today announced a new set of permissions enhancements designed to empower corporate development teams to manage complex stakeholder access with greater precision, visibility, and confidence, so every stakeholder gets the right access from the start and deals move faster.

Running a deal means managing a large and complicated cast of stakeholders: integration leads, functional teams, outside counsel, consultants, and sellers. Every group needs access to deal data, but none of them should see the same things. Navigating who gets access to what, and when, has long been one of the hardest operational challenges in M&A.

The latest enhancements to DealRoom's Permissions capability take the complexity out of a deal's permission matrix. Instead of manually tracking access across dozens of stakeholder groups, corporate development teams now have a clear, centralized view and the tools to configure permissions precisely, verify them instantly, and trust them completely.

The release includes five new permissions enhancements designed to help deal teams securely collaborate across every stage of the deal lifecycle.

1. Field-Level Permissions (Diligence) that Help Teams Share Requests Without Exposing Sensitive Information

Diligence requests often involve multiple stakeholders, each requiring access to different pieces of information. With Field-Level Permissions for Diligence, deal teams can control who can view or edit individual request fields, including statuses, comments, attachments, assignees, and custom fields. This enables secure collaboration while ensuring sensitive information remains visible only to the right stakeholders.

2. Field-Level Permissions (Pipeline) that Help Teams Share Pipeline Visibility Without Exposing Sensitive Deal Data

Keeping stakeholders informed should not require exposing confidential deal information. With Field-Level Permissions for Pipeline, deal teams can control visibility and edit access at the field level, ensuring sensitive data such as purchase price and EBITDA remain visible only to the appropriate audiences. Stakeholders stay aligned on deal progress while confidential information stays protected.

3. Permissions Overview that Helps Administrators Instantly Understand What Any Group Can Access

As stakeholder groups grow, it becomes increasingly difficult to know exactly what each group can see. Permissions Overview provides a centralized view of access across requests, folders, findings, synergies, users, and administrative permissions, making it easy to audit permissions and validate access in seconds.

4. "View As" Permission Group that Helps Teams Verify Access Before Inviting Stakeholders Into the Deal Room

Before inviting stakeholders into a deal room, administrators need confidence that permissions have been configured correctly. The "View As" Permission Group capability allows teams to preview the deal room exactly as a stakeholder group will experience it, helping ensure stakeholders see only the information intended for them.

5. Audience Visibility in Comments that Helps Prevent Sensitive Information From Reaching the Wrong Audience

Deal teams collaborate through comments every day, but uncertainty around who will receive a message can create unnecessary risk. Audience Visibility in Comments shows exactly who will receive a comment before it is sent, including the individual members of selected groups, helping teams collaborate confidently on sensitive deal matters.

Together, these enhancements help corporate development teams:

More importantly, these enhancements enable the full collaborative workflow to move through DealRoom with confidence.

When administrators can see exactly who receives a comment before sending it, confirm what a group can access before inviting them into a deal, and configure permissions that mirror how deals actually work, teams spend less time managing access and more time moving deals forward.

Enhanced permissions ensure every stakeholder has the visibility they need, when they need it. Stakeholders spend less time requesting access, corporate development teams spend less time resolving permission issues, and deals move faster because the setup is right from the start.

The result is a faster, more secure, and more collaborative M&A process, where every stakeholder has exactly the access they need, and nothing more.
