Roles and permissions

Who does what: the roles, their records and the human decisions that require independent approval.

A manufacturing ERP is used by people who do not share a job. The planner should not post journal entries; the operator should not change a bill; the buyer should not release payment for their own order. Permissions are by role, on records and on actions, and the same role matrix governs an agent acting on someone’s behalf.

Permissions

Summarised from the authored role permissions. Scope restrictions such as “own records” still apply; these symbols do not indicate completeness or runtime access.

How permissions work

5 rules

Records

View, create, edit, delete per table, with row filters where needed (an operator sees only operations assigned to them).

Actions

Run MRP, release a work order, approve a purchase, lift a hold, post a period. Actions are separate from record rights so a person can see an order they may not approve.

Fields

Some fields are read-only for some roles: the buyer sees the standard cost but cannot change it.

Segregation

The configured workflow checks conflicts on each document: requester or Buyer cannot approve their own purchase; the payment preparer or Buyer cannot authorise its run. Receiving permissions are assigned separately from approval rights and verified during rehearsal.

Delegation

An approver can delegate for a period; the delegate's decisions are marked as such.

The roles

Production Planner

Owns MRP, work-order release, scheduling, and BOM/Routing maintenance.
