Factory Roles and Permissions

AskBiz Factory Captures uses five specific permission flags that control what each staff member can do on the production floor:

• camera.intake — can submit intake captures (incoming materials/components)
• camera.output — can submit output captures (finished goods off the line)
• camera.wastage — can submit wastage captures (damaged or rejected materials)
• camera.dispatch — can submit dispatch captures (finished goods leaving the facility)
• capture.approve — can see the pending approvals queue and approve or reject captures

Permission flags are additive — a staff member can hold any combination. A floor supervisor might hold all four camera.* flags plus capture.approve.

While you can configure permissions freely, most factory operations map to these typical role profiles:

• Floor worker (general) — assigned camera.intake and camera.output. Logs material arrivals and finished goods.
• Wastage monitor — assigned camera.wastage. Responsible for formally logging all waste events.
• Dispatch operative — assigned camera.dispatch. Logs goods leaving the facility.
• Supervisor — assigned capture.approve plus any camera flags relevant to their floor role. Reviews and approves all pending captures.
• Manager — has all permissions by default, including capture.approve. Can also access the audit trail and override rejected captures.
• Owner/admin — full access to all features including staff management and audit trail.

To assign factory permissions to a staff member:

1. Go to Settings → POS → Staff in your admin panel

2. Find the staff member and tap Edit

3. Under Factory Permissions, toggle on the relevant flags

4. Tap Save

Changes take effect immediately — the staff member will see the updated capture buttons the next time they log in at pos.askbiz.co.

To remove a permission, return to the same screen and toggle it off. The staff member's historical captures are not affected — only future capture access is changed.
