Permissions should match the decisions each role is responsible for making.
Software Permissions for Warehouse and Production TeamsPermissions should match the decisions each role is responsible for making. A picker may need to record movement without changing opening balances or user access. Test the boundaries with realistic accounts rather than assuming every role label means the same thing across products.
With a hypothetical floor account, try to record an allowed task and then attempt an administrative change it should not make. Verify both outcomes. A successful normal task alone does not establish that restrictions work.
Assign responsibility for access review and removal. Avoid using a shared administrator login as the normal solution to missing permissions.
Bring one representative cabinet job to a Millbase demonstration. Follow the project and its recorded costs, inspect the inventory workflow, and review live floor activity. Ask the person who will use each screen to perform the task and check the resulting record.
Ask the Millbase AI agent a question grounded in your workspace records. For example: “For this project, compare estimated and actual labour and show the workers and workstations behind the total.” You can select a project or worker, ask follow-up questions, and request supported reports and CSV exports.
Check the result against the same project records and try a follow-up question. Confirm any required integration, import, export, or specialist planning workflow during the demonstration rather than inferring it from the software category.

Decide according to the business's responsibilities and data needs. Grant the access required for the work rather than assuming universal visibility.
Recheck after role changes, significant software updates, and new workflows that introduce different data or actions.
