Roles & permissions summary

This page details roles and permissions for key areas of the Patchworks platform. User accounts can be associated with one of four possible roles:
Administrator
Manager
User
Read-only
The tables below summarise dashboard access by role. It's important to be aware that available features are determined by your core subscription tier. So, although a user's role might be associated with permissions to access a given feature, that feature is only available if it's included in the active subscription tier - think of it as 'tier trumps role'. For example:
All permissions refer to entities associated with your own company profile. If you manage multiple company profiles, please see our Multi-company profiles section for more information.
If you haven't upgraded to Core yet and are still using services to sync data, please check for roles & permissions information that's specific to services.
When someone registers for a Patchworks account, they are assigned to the administrator role, automatically. This user can go on to create additional users and/or assign roles to other users as needed.
Typically, there is one administrator for each organisation. If you require more than one user with this role, please raise a support request.
