How access, roles and branches work

Every person has their own account and a role. The role decides what they can see and do, and the account can be limited to one branch, several branches, or all locations.

Who can do this: Owners and administrators.

The idea

  • Each person signs in with their own email and password.
  • Each account has one role. A role is a named list of things its holders may do (permissions).
  • An account can be limited to one branch, several branches, or all locations.
  • If a person lacks a permission, the menu item is hidden, and the system refuses the action even if they type the page address.
  • Administrators can switch whole areas on or off in Settings → Modules.
