In stakeholder classifications a gatekeeper is a junior stakeholder who has power in terms of controlling access to more powerful stakeholders, or someone who can control what information is shared with others. For example, we may wish to consult with a senior manager, but someone else controls access to his or her schedule. We need to engage the gatekeeper and persuade them that a meeting is a worthwhile use of the senior manager’s time. See also Stakeholder Management.
