Reference

Who can do what in Automated Storage (AS/RS)

Separate stock preparation, supervisory decisions and evidence inspection within the operating organization.

How permissions work

Preparation

Inventory Clerk maintains operating records and prepares stock requests and robot tasks. Execution uses the eligible guarded stock actions and the current authorized scope.

Supervision

Inventory Supervisor decides stock requests, handles corrections and reversals, reconciles evidence and maintains allocation policies. Seeing a decision queue does not by itself grant action authority.

Independent robot review

The person who decides a submitted robot task must be different from its creator. A supervisor who created the task needs another eligible reviewer.

Evidence access

Auditor reads authorized records and their decision, receipt and movement history. App Administrator maintains organizations and membership; Admin handles platform user setup.
