Separate quote preparation, independent review and setup maintenance within the operating organization.

How permissions work

Preparation

Quote Specialist prepares assigned draft offers, compatibility requests and attachments. Guarded actions control protected lifecycle decisions.

Independent decisions

Pricing Reviewer reads the scoped records and decides through the review actions. Reviewer independence and expected revision matter at the point of decision.

Setup ownership

App Administrator maintains organizations, customers and team membership. Admin handles user access setup. Keep those responsibilities distinct from operational approval.

Evidence access

Auditor reads authorized records and reports. Attachment visibility and organization scope need explicit access checks before release.
