Staff do the work. Owners control the money.
Weekend staff should be able to log intake and update listings without being able to change commission rules or release payouts. Roles draw that line clearly.
Permission boundaries
Keep intake, approval, and owner-only rules clear.
Audit history
Every operational change keeps actor, record, and time attached.

Permission boundaries with the audit trail beside them.
Role-based access
Staff, manager, and owner roles cover the common store setup without a permissions matrix to maintain.
Money actions gated
Payout approval and commission rule changes require owner-level access, always.
Safe defaults
New staff start with intake and listing access only. Escalation is deliberate, not accidental.
Every action attributed
Actions are logged with the person who did them, which makes handovers and disputes short conversations.
- 01
Invite with a role
Add staff with the role that matches their job. Access applies immediately across the workspace.
- 02
Boundaries enforce themselves
Gated actions are simply unavailable to roles without them, rather than policed after the fact.
- 03
Audit keeps the record
Role changes and gated actions land in the audit trail with actor and timestamp.
