    Staff & Roles

    Control who sees what, who can approve what, and who touches your financial data — with permission sets that match how your firm actually works

    Role-Based Access

    Each staff member is assigned one or more permission sets that control feature access:

    • Owner — full access to all features
    • Admin — full access except ownership transfer
    • Standard — configurable per-feature access
    • Contractor — limited access, typically time entry only

    Service Roles

    In addition to permission sets, staff can hold additive service roles that grant cross-cutting access:

    • Finance — access to invoicing, billing, and financial reports regardless of base permission set
    • Sales — access to quotes, proposals, and pipeline data

    Service roles stack on top of base permissions — they never remove access, only add it.

    Granular Permissions

    Permission sets control access to: jobs (view/edit/delete), clients, invoices (create/approve/export/void), costs, quotes, reports, settings, and more. Each permission can be toggled independently.
