Quick Summary: The app supports two user types: Client Administrators with full system control, and Restricted Users with limited access based on location visibility. Restricted access affects reporting, policy editing, forecasting, and ordering functions.

User Roles

Client Administrator

Has full access across all locations, settings, user administration, and system functions.

Restricted User

A Restricted User can work only in the locations assigned to them, and their capability depends on whether access is full, read-only, or no access. This role prevents users from modifying or viewing data they should not have access to.


Feature Behaviour Based on Location Access

Location access assigned

Visibility result

Example

Access to every location

Full access to the Supplier Performance Feature, Stock Projection Feature, Report Builder, and Advanced Reports.

Missing access to even one location

The above features are removed unless default location access = Read only or Full.

No access to a location

The user cannot see any data for that location.

No full access to any location

The user cannot access the Orders screen.

⚠️ Watchouts

  • Incorrect permissions: Incorrect or outdated permissions may expose sensitive data or prevent the execution of required tasks.

  • Changing access impacts immediately: Removing or altering location rights updates visibility at once.

  • No automatic inheritance: Restricted Users do not automatically gain access to new locations.

  • Most visibility issues: These are usually caused by missing location access rather than a system fault.


💡 Tips

  • Reconfirm permissions after team changes: Role shifts or department changes often require access updates.

  • Limit admin access: Keep full-administrator rights only with users who actively manage configuration.

  • Use restriction intentionally: Restricted access is useful to separate responsibility or protect sensitive areas.
