Configurable permissions

Configurable permissions for every staff member

Configurable permissions give your repair shop role-based access with a person-by-person finish: every login starts from a role, then you switch each right on or off for that one person. A technician can see only their own jobs, reception can record payments without deleting them, and seeing customer phone numbers is a right you grant.

  • Technicians see only the jobs assigned to them
  • Sensitive rights marked with a shield
  • Copy rights from a colleague in one step
  • Two-factor login for every staff member

Why it matters

What are configurable permissions?

Configurable permissions decide what each person on your team can see and do. In BytePhase every login has one of seven fixed roles — Admin, Technician, Reception, Delivery, Account, Marketing or Sale — which sets their starting rights and their phone-app home screen. An admin then turns individual rights on or off for that person. There is no role editor: you set rights per person, not per role.

One shared login, so nobody knows who changed a jobEach person signs in as themselves, and the job’s activity log names who changed the status, the assignee, the parts or the payments.
A new technician can see every customer’s jobSwitch on “Only jobs assigned to this employee” and they see their own work only.
Someone leaves and still has accessSwitch their rights off the same day; with two-factor login, a password alone doesn’t get anyone in.
How it works

Setting staff permissions in four steps

  1. 1

    Add the person with a role

    The role sets the starting rights and which screen the phone app opens on.

    Staff roles explained

  2. 2

    Open their Permissions tab

    Rights sit in groups such as Operations, Payment, Sales and Administration, each with a count of what is on.

  3. 3

    Switch rights on or off

    Enable or disable a whole area, or search for one right. Sensitive rights carry a shield and a short note.

  4. 4

    Limit to own work and save

    Turn on “only assigned” where needed, or copy everything from a colleague, then save.

In detail

Role-based access with per-person control

Copy permissions from a colleague: pick the employee, check the switches, then save, with Undo last before saving
Copy from employeeSame rights as a colleagueCheck, then save · Undo last before saving

Rights set person by person

Open a group, then switch rights one by one or use Enable all and Disable all for an area. Sensitive rights — deleting jobs, seeing customer phone numbers — are marked with a shield. Copy a colleague’s rights when you add someone new, and remember that changing a role resets them. Only admins can change rights. Read staff permissions help.

Only their own work, module by module

Visibility switches limit a person to the work assigned to them in six places, contract work included. Set the follow-ups they own with task management.

Login security and who did what

Make every staff member sign in with a code from an authenticator app, and check which computers and phones used your own login in the last 7 days. Each job keeps an activity log of status, assignee, parts, services and payment changes, with the name of the person who made them. See activity logs.

Configurable permissions questions

Can a technician see only their own jobs?2026-01-01T08:00:00+00:00

Yes. On the technician’s Permissions tab, turn on “Only jobs assigned to this employee”. The same switch exists for tasks, leads, pickups and drops, AMC and rentals.

How can I customize permissions for my employees?2026-10-30T08:03:50+00:00

You can customize permissions by defining roles and assigning them to employees. For example, you can restrict access to financial data or limit task creation to managers only.

Why give each employee their own login instead of a shared one?2026-01-01T08:02:00+00:00

A shared login can’t show who changed a job, and locking one person out means changing the password for everyone. In BytePhase each person signs in with their own login on the web or the Android and iOS apps, and a job’s history shows who changed it and when. When someone leaves, deactivate their login: they are signed out straight away and their history stays. Role-based access goes past cashier and manager levels too, with rights per module and for sensitive actions such as customer contact details, and a technician can be limited to the jobs, AMC contracts and rentals assigned to them.

Can I hide customer phone numbers from staff?2026-01-01T08:03:00+00:00

Yes. On that person’s Permissions tab, switch off Customers › Contact details. Without it, phone numbers and addresses are partly hidden for them and the WhatsApp and SMS buttons on a customer stay off. It is marked with a shield as a sensitive right, and only an Admin can change it.

Can I make staff use two-factor login?2026-01-01T08:04:00+00:00

Yes. You can require two-step login for all staff. At their next sign-in each person sets up an authenticator app such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator or Authy, then types a 6-digit code after the password.

What is the Configurable Permissions feature in BytePhase CRM?2026-10-30T08:03:50+00:00

This feature allows administrators to assign specific access levels to employees, ensuring that sensitive information and critical functions are accessible only to authorized users.

Can I copy one employee’s permissions to another?2026-01-01T08:06:00+00:00

Yes. On the Permissions tab, click Copy from employee, pick the colleague and click Copy permissions. Check the switches, then click Save permissions. Nothing changes until you save, and Undo last reverses your latest change before that. You can also copy rights while you add a new staff member.

Will my staff still be able to use the phone app with limited rights?2026-01-01T08:07:00+00:00

Yes. Staff sign in to the Android or iOS app with their own login. Their role sets the first screen and bottom-bar buttons, for example a technician opens on Jobs and an admin on the Dashboard, and their rights decide what else they can open. An area you switch off stays out of their menu.

Can permissions be adjusted for specific modules or features?2026-10-30T08:03:50+00:00

Yes, BytePhase CRM enables you to set permissions for individual features or modules, such as repair tickets, inventory, or customer profiles, ensuring precise control over user access.

Can permissions be modified for specific employee roles over time?2026-10-30T08:03:50+00:00

Yes, administrators can update or refine permissions as employees’ roles or responsibilities change, ensuring that access rights remain aligned with job functions and organizational needs.

How does this feature enhance security in my repair shop management?2026-10-30T08:03:50+00:00

By limiting access to sensitive data and critical functions, the Configurable Permissions feature minimizes the risk of unauthorized actions or data breaches, ensuring a secure operating environment.
