Who can do what in PM + CRM for Consulting

Give engagement owners, reviewers, consultants and operations staff clear record responsibilities.

How permissions work

Separate preparation and review

The person who owns an engagement prepares its scope; another person records the review decision.

Keep client context available

Delivery and billing staff need to read the parent engagement to understand the service entry they are handling.

Limit evidence by audience

Attachment visibility distinguishes internal and shared material on an engagement.

Check membership

Admin maintains the team member and user links that identify who is acting for the consulting organization.
