Permissions grouped into five plain categories

Roughly thirty permissions are grouped as Navigation, Actions, Customer Documents, Stage Controls and Admin so the grid reads as decisions rather than a flat list of flags.

What it is

The same five-category grouping is used in the per-person editor and in the preset editor. Navigation covers which screens appear; Actions covers editing and sending; Customer Documents covers contracts, change orders and invoices; Stage Controls covers the granular field abilities; Admin covers deleting, managing users, building plans, inviting and cross-crew visibility.

Signature
The five accent-coloured category headings with their checkbox grids, side by side in the preset editor. Sample data — no customer information appears here.
How it works
  1. 1PERM_CATEGORIES declares each category and the permission keys inside it.
  2. 2PERM_LABELS gives every key a human label such as 'My Work (field log)' or 'Edit Stage Details & Landmarks'.
  3. 3Stage-specific keys also carry short descriptions used in the settings UI (STAGE_PERM_LABELS).
Why we built it

Thirty boolean flags in one column is unreadable, and the decisions an owner actually makes cluster: what screens does this person see, what can they change, can they see money documents, what can they do in the field, and are they trusted with admin. The grouping is duplicated in the presets tab so both editors speak the same vocabulary.

The problem
  • An undifferentiated flag list gave no guidance on which switches belong together.
Sound familiar?
What you get
An owner can reason about access one category at a time.
The same grouping appears wherever permissions are edited.
