The rule that resolves most confusion in Nauticare is short:
Your own records are always yours. A colleague's records need permission.
Every permission whose name begins Other Crew's … is about somebody else. None of them is required for your own paperwork.
Where your own records are
Your own record is not on the crew list — it is on your Account page, reached from the avatar at the top right of the app.
Depending on your role the page carries tabs for Personal Details, Certificates, Passport and Visa, Financial Information, Medical information and Private Documents, a tab per crew form category in use on your vessel, plus Notifications and Security and Privacy.
You can view and edit all of it without holding any permission, including uploading and archiving your own certificates and passports.
Forms, hours and leave
- Crew forms — where the yacht has the ISM area, you can open, start and edit your own submissions in any crew form category, whether or not you hold View or Edit for that category.
- Work/Rest — recording and editing your own hours needs no permission. The Work/Rest entry under Crew has no permission gate of its own; it appears whenever the vessel has the Work/Rest area, and shows your own month even if you have been granted no oversight of anyone else.
- Leave Requests — the same. The entry appears whenever the vessel has the Leave Requests area, your own requests are always visible, and you can submit and withdraw them yourself.
One catch: both entries sit under Crew in the sidebar, and the Crew group only appears for a crew member who holds at least one permission of any kind. Somebody with an entirely empty permission list will not find them until something has been ticked.
In lists that span the whole crew, your own row is always included, then the ranks you have been granted oversight of are added on top.
The two things you cannot do for yourself
Deliberately, and regardless of permission:
- You cannot approve, reject or revert your own leave request. Nor can a captain do it for their own — a leave request is always decided by somebody else.
- A crew member cannot apply a management signature or rejection to their own work/rest month. A captain can, since the master signs off their own record in the normal way.
What is still gated
Closing a form, and editing a form after it has been closed, are privileged actions even on your own submission — they need the Close form and Edit closed forms permissions for that category.
And a colleague's record stays behind permission in every case. Without Other Crew's Details → View Details you cannot open somebody else's Member Details page from the crew list at all.
