How roles work
Every user on Nuvo has two things that determine what they can do:
Admin status — Are they an Admin or Non-Admin?
Role — What is their functional role (e.g. Credit Approver, Sales Rep)?
Admins have full access to everything in their company regardless of role — with one exception: a user with the Credit Clerk role (and not also Credit Approver) can never approve or decline applications, even if they're an Admin. Non-admins are scoped to the capabilities of their assigned role.
Admin
Admins have unrestricted access across the entire company, including:
View and edit all company information and settings
View, edit, and approve all credit applications
Set and modify approval limits on Credit Approvers
Manage all team members (invite, remove, change roles) — Admins and IT are the only ones who can do this
Access all trade references, assets, and documents
View credit operations data and analytics
Any role below can also be an Admin. When they are, all role restrictions are removed — except the Credit Clerk approval block noted above.
If a company has SSO enabled, team members can't be invited manually at all — users are managed through the company's identity provider.

Credit Approvers are the primary decision-makers on credit applications. If the company has approval limits enabled, an Admin can set a limit on each approver (refreshing daily, weekly, or monthly); the approver can approve up to that amount.How roles work

Credit Clerk
Capability

Edit application data, documents, trade references
| Yes
|
Edit company profile / settings
| No (Admin only)
|
View credit applications
| Yes
|
Approve / decline applications
| No — even if also an Admin
|
Request changes / more info on applications
| Yes
|
Pre-fill supplier application data
| Yes
|
View credit operations data
| Yes
|
Manage team members
| No (Admin only)
|
Credit Clerks have the same visibility as Credit Approvers and can work applications (request changes, request more info), but cannot approve or decline. Ideal for junior analysts and processors.
Sales Manager
Capability
| Access
|
View company information
| Yes (read-only)
|
Edit company information
| No
|
View credit applications
| Yes (read-only, all applications)
|
Approve / decline applications
| No
|
Invite / remove Sales Reps
| No (Admin only)
|
Pre-fill supplier application data
| Yes
|
Sales Managers get a read-only view like Sales Reps, but across all of the company's applications rather than just assigned ones. They cannot invite or remove team members — that's Admin-only.
Sales Rep
Capability
| Access
|
View company information
| Yes (read-only)
|
Edit company information
| No
|
View credit applications
| Read-only, assigned customers only
|
Approve / decline applications
| No
|
View Notes tab on applications
| No
|
Manage team members
| No
|
Important: Sales Rep access depends on a per-company setting (the sales rep dashboard). When it's on, reps get a read-only dashboard showing only the customers/applications assigned to them — this scoping is enforced server-side, not just hidden in the UI. When it's off, Sales Reps have no dashboard access at all. The Insights, Trade References, and Notes tabs are hidden from both the Sales Rep and Sales Manager views.
Accounts Payable / Accounts Receivable
Capability
| Access
|
View company information
| Yes
|
Edit application data, documents, trade references
| Yes
|
Edit company profile / settings
| No (Admin only)
|
View credit applications
| Yes

Visible on trade references

AP and AR contacts have standard authorized access and are listed as points of contact on trade references.
Owner / Officer / Stakeholder (OOS)
Capability
| Access
|
View company information
| Yes
|
Edit application data and documents
| Yes
|
Provide personal guaranty / ownership info
| Yes
|
OOS users provide beneficial ownership and personal guaranty information as part of credit applications. Note: an OOS contact only gets data access once an Admin has approved (authorized) them — self-attesting as an owner doesn't grant access on its own.
IT
The IT role automatically grants Admin-level access for system and technical administration, with the Insights/Analytics tab hidden. Exception: if a user has IT plus a credit role (Approver or Clerk), Insights is shown — the credit role wins.
