Who can do what in Bus / Coach Management

Assign booking ownership, dispatch preparation and independent departure review within each carrier organization.

How permissions work

Organizational ownership

Link each team member to the authenticated user and carrier organization. Agree the bookings and resource records that person needs for their work.

Preparation and decision

The Booking Coordinator owns customer information and the Dispatcher prepares the staffed departure. The Departure Reviewer makes the independent release decision.

Evidence handling

Finance Reviewers reconcile provider events. Operations Managers investigate service outcomes and unresolved operation receipts with the responsible Dispatcher.

File visibility

Internal and Shared attachments remain subject to the booking's access rules. Check the intended audience before changing a document's visibility.

Administrative setup

Admin maintains organizational membership and resource setup. Assign business decision responsibilities explicitly rather than inferring them from administrative access.
