Roles and permissions are only available after you save the user. You cannot assign roles during creation.

On the user details page, click Roles & Permissions in the right sidebar.

Roles & Permissions with Full Admin preset selected

Role presets

The top of the panel offers two presets:

  • Full Admin enables all roles with Owner (full) access.
  • Sales Representative enables only Sales Hub, User management, Product Data and Order Data with Owner access. All other roles are disabled.

If the current configuration does not match either preset, it displays as Custom.

Sales Representative preset selected

Platform Access

Platform Access roles control which main areas of the application you can reach. These are toggle-only with no access level selector.

  • Sales Hub grants access to the Sales Hub sidebar for managing quotes, orders and the product catalogue.
  • Backoffice grants access to the core admin sidebar. Disabling it greys out all module roles below.

Module Permissions

Module Permissions give fine-grained access to individual functional modules. Each module has a toggle and an access level dropdown.

Each module offers three access levels:

  • Owner grants full access (create, edit, delete).
  • Editor allows editing existing items.
  • Viewer provides read-only access.

A collapsible panel at the bottom of the Roles & Permissions section shows which menu items are accessible based on the current role configuration.

Menu Access Preview showing visible and hidden menu items

Each menu item shows a visibility icon and lists the platform role and module role(s) required for access. A menu item is accessible when the required platform role (Backoffice or Sales Hub) is active and all required module roles for that item are active. Some items require multiple module roles.

The preview updates in real time as you toggle roles.

The email address cannot be changed after the user is created.
