Feature

Roles & access

Brikl roles give each person exactly the access they need. Assign a role and someone sees only the stores, catalogs and settings that role allows.

What it does

  • Roles scoped across stores and organizations
  • Each person sees only what their role allows
  • Stay in control as the team grows
  • No one-off permission juggling

How it works

A role is a list of sections it can open

Not a matrix of hundreds of permissions nobody reads. Every part of the dashboard is a switch on the role, and the role’s summary says how many of them are on — four of ten, three of ten, all of them.

M

Marketplace

Browse and curate products

C

Catalogs

Collections, draft to live

S

Stores

Storefronts and theming

O

Orders

Open orders and fulfillment

R

Reports

Analytics and exports

D

Discounts

Coupon codes and price rules

W

Wallet

Gift cards and point cards

U

Upcharges

Add-ons, surcharges and fees

L

Lockers

Logos, artwork and print files

F

Footprints

Sub-organizations by region

And two administration switches

Separately from the dashboard sections: whether the role can manage members from the settings menu, and whether it can manage customer accounts. Being able to use the platform and being able to change who else can are different questions.

Select all, or clear

Start from everything and take away, or start from nothing and add. A new role is created from the same screen, so a role that fits your team exactly is a few clicks rather than a support request.

Six roles out of the box

Each shows its member count and how many sections it opens, so the shape of your team is legible from one list. Every one of them is editable, except the first.

1

Owner

Full access to every section, billing and user management. The owner role always keeps full access and can't be edited — which is what stops a permissions change locking everybody out.

2

Administrator

Every section, plus the settings-menu access to manage members and customer accounts.

3

Merchandiser

The sections that build the range and the storefront — products, catalogs, stores and artwork.

4

Operations

Orders and the things that price them, without the commercial and marketing sections.

5

Finance

Reporting and the money surfaces — discounts, upcharges — without touching the catalog.

6

Viewer

One section, or a handful. Read-only in practice, because they can't open the screens where things change.

And a member list that tells you the truth

Roles are only half of it. The other half is knowing who actually has access right now — which is the part that goes stale in most organizations.

1

Role, changed in place

Every member's role is a dropdown on their row. Promoting somebody doesn't require opening anything.

2

Section access, spelled out

“All sections” or “four of ten” beside each person, so you can see at a glance who can reach what.

3

Status

Active, invited or disabled. An invitation that was never accepted says “invitation sent” rather than looking like a live account.

4

Last active

When they were last in the platform — the column that finds the accounts nobody has closed.

Invite

Send an invitation and the person appears in the list as invited, with the option to resend.

Disable

Take access away without deleting the account or its history — and restore it later.

Move or copy between organizations

Move a member to another organization, or copy them so they stay here and join the destination too. In a distributor network, people work across more than one.

Organizations and sub-organizations are managed in Footprints, and what an external customer sees is set separately with customer scoping — a member of your team and a customer contact are never governed by the same switch.

Every capability, one login

Roles & access is one module of the Brikl platform. Start free and use them all, or see how they fit together.
