Roles & Permissions

Owner, Manager, Billing Admin, and Field roles

provvio has four roles. Owner is whoever created the organisation - the other three (Manager, Billing Admin, Field) are assigned at invite and can be changed later.

Available Roles

Owner

The person who created the organisation. Has full access to everything, including subscription billing. The Owner role can't be transferred to another user, but you can grant equivalent operational power by making someone a Manager.

Click the ⋮ menu next to the member's name
Select the new role

Role changes take effect immediately.

How Many Managers?

You can have as many Managers as you like - there's no limit. We recommend keeping the role list lean, but for any business with more than a couple of admin staff, multiple Managers usually beats funnelling everything through one person.

Tips

Most field workers only need Field
Use Billing Admin when someone handles invoicing but shouldn't be editing operations data
Use Manager for ops leads and senior staff who need everything but the subscription
Permissions are checked on every request, so role changes apply immediately on web and mobile
