Permission table: who can see and do what in Smart Inspector

Each table below lists one part of the app and, for each role (Owner, Branch manager, Supervisor, Staff), what that role can see or do. The phone hides what a role may not do, and the server refuses it anyway.

How to read the cells:

  • All: every branch of the restaurant (owner only).
  • Branch: every record of the branches the person belongs to.
  • Own: only records about them, assigned to them or reported by them.
  • View: can see but not change.
  • Yes: allowed. —: hidden or not allowed.
