Access is granted per category
Operations rights are given category by category, not for Operations as a whole. A crew member can therefore be able to fill in the forms in one category while not even seeing another.
Rights are set on the crew member's Permissions tab, under the Operations group, which lists each Operations category your company has defined. For each category you can grant:
- View — open and read submissions in the category, and download them as PDF. The category's entry appears in the Operations menu.
- Edit — create new submissions and change open ones.
- Delete — permanently remove a submission.
- Close form — mark a submission as finished.
- Edit closed forms — change a submission after it has been closed.
Granting Edit does not imply Close form, and Close form does not imply Edit closed forms — each is separate, so a member can be allowed to complete records without being able to finalise or reopen the wording of finished ones.
What each role sees
- Crew get exactly the categories and actions they have been granted. Without View on a category, that category is invisible to them — it does not appear in the menu and its submissions do not appear on Operations → Overview.
- Captain, Company Admin and Company User have full access to Operations without needing per-category permissions.
- Viewer and Company Viewer are read-only everywhere. They can open and download whatever they can see, but the Add, Save, Close and Delete controls are not available to them.
- Owner does not get Operations access through the vessel permission system.
What you will notice in the interface
The app only offers what you are entitled to. If you cannot edit a submission, the row shows View instead of Edit, the form opens greyed out and there is no Save button. If you cannot create submissions in a category, the Add button is not shown. If a signature field is restricted to someone else, its Sign button is greyed out.
These checks are also applied when the request reaches the server, so an action you are not entitled to is refused rather than quietly accepted.
