Roles and permissions

Controlling who can do what, down to individual fields.

Roles gather permissions; users are assigned roles. Permissions reach beyond modules down to individual field groups, and can vary by lifecycle state.

Module permissions

For each module a role can have no access, read, edit, or full control including delete.

Field-level permissions

Fields are grouped — identity, engineering, supply chain, quality, compliance, manufacturing — and each group can be permitted per role and per lifecycle state. This is what allows a policy like:

What users see

A field somebody can't edit renders read-only with the reason on hover, rather than appearing editable and then refusing to save.

Everything is still audited

Every edit writes to the audit trail regardless of role, including edits by administrators.

Still stuck?

Email [email protected] and a person will pick it up. Include the part number and what you were doing — it saves a round trip.
