Users, roles and permissions
Control who can open which screens and what they may do in each one.
How access works
Each user is given a role, and the role carries the permissions. Permissions are granted per menu and per action — view, create, edit and delete — so someone can record invoices without being able to delete them. Menus a role cannot view are hidden entirely.
The standard roles
You can edit these or create roles of your own.
- Super Admin — full access, including users, permissions and backups.
- Admin — full day-to-day access without the most sensitive administration screens.
- Manager — operational access, plus read-only access elsewhere.
- Gate Manager — gate operations and related dispatch screens.
- User — view only.
Adding a user
- 1Go to User Management → Users and choose Add.
- 2Enter the name, email and a password.
- 3Assign the role that matches their job.
- 4Save — they can now sign in.
Give every person their own login. Shared accounts make the audit trail meaningless, because you cannot tell who did what.
Adjusting what a role can do
- 1Go to User Management → Roles and open the role.
- 2Tick or untick view, create, edit and delete per module.
- 3Save — the change applies to everyone with that role immediately.
Notifications
Under User Management → Notification Settings, choose which roles are notified when records are created, changed or deleted in each module — so approvers hear about what needs them without watching every screen.
