Who can do what in Kitchen Inventory Management

Keep preparation, supervisor decisions and evidence review aligned with the configured roles.

How permissions work

Preparation and stock work

Inventory Clerk manages the published item, lot, location, arrival and request records, and runs permitted stock actions. Viewing a decision record does not grant authority to approve it.

Supervisor actions

Inventory Supervisor manages par-level policies and uses the published decision, reversal, correction and reconciliation actions. Its read access to stock requests is distinct from workflow action authority; verify the action checks with a real account.

Evidence review

Auditor has configured read access to operational and evidence records. Read-only review should not create another receipt, decision or stock effect.

Identity and setup

App Administrator maintains organizations and team members. Map team members' user to the real user before using a current-user filter. Configure and test Admin's setup permissions before assigning it.
