Admin
The role sets the ceiling. Venue access sets the reach. Permissions decide what appears in the sidebar.
On a user's card in Settings → Team, under Access Permissions.
The shape
Sections, each with a toggle, and pages underneath with their own.
Sales — Sales Summary, Location Overview, Weekly Overview, Monthly Overview
Menu — Item Sales, Item Analysis
Staff — FOH
Insights — AI Forecast, Peak Hours, Goals & Targets, Smart Alerts
Inventory — the kitchen side
Turn off a section and it goes, with everything in it. Turn off a page and only that page goes.
What it does
Removes it from their sidebar. Not greyed out, not behind a message — absent.
Which is the right behaviour: a page someone cannot open should not be advertised to them every day.
Permissions and roles
Roles are broad. Permissions are the scalpel.
A general manager gets an operational ceiling. But if that GM never touches inventory and you would rather they did not, turn Inventory off for them. Their role does not change; their sidebar does.
This is not a way to build a role. If you find yourself turning off ten things for someone, they are on the wrong role. See Roles explained.
What it does not do
It does not narrow venues. That is Venue access, separately.
It does not raise a ceiling. Turning on a section for someone whose role does not permit it changes nothing. Permissions subtract; they never add.
Section off, pages on
Turning off a parent hides the whole section regardless of the children underneath. The children keep their state — turn the parent back on and they come back as they were.
Where to use it
Chefs. They get the kitchen. Sales sections are noise on a station screen.
Accountants. Reports and exports. Not Peak Hours.
Managers you want narrow. A room manager who needs today's numbers and nothing else.
Where not to
Do not use it as security. Permissions decide what someone is shown, not what they are allowed to reach. The real boundaries are the role and the venue list, enforced on the server.
If someone must not have something, do not give them a role that includes it.
The rule
Start from the role. Subtract what is genuinely noise. Stop.
A sidebar with four things someone uses beats a sidebar with fourteen they scroll past.
