Roles & Permissions
Which roles can do what in FabWise. This article is generated automatically from FabWise's permission constitution — when permissions or roles change, the page updates on the next deploy.
Roles
Every user holds one role. Higher-level roles include the privileges of every lower-level role.
Admin (Level 4)
Full access. Nothing restricted.
Manager (Level 3)
Day-to-day operations. No HR or system configuration.
Supervisor (Level 2)
Shop floor authority. Shifts + view-only context.
User (Level 1)
Kiosk and workstation only. Never enters admin namespace.
