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.
Marketplace
Browse and curate products
Catalogs
Collections, draft to live
Stores
Storefronts and theming
Orders
Open orders and fulfillment
Reports
Analytics and exports
Discounts
Coupon codes and price rules
Wallet
Gift cards and point cards
Upcharges
Add-ons, surcharges and fees
Lockers
Logos, artwork and print files
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.
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.
Administrator
Every section, plus the settings-menu access to manage members and customer accounts.
Merchandiser
The sections that build the range and the storefront — products, catalogs, stores and artwork.
Operations
Orders and the things that price them, without the commercial and marketing sections.
Finance
Reporting and the money surfaces — discounts, upcharges — without touching the catalog.
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.
Role, changed in place
Every member's role is a dropdown on their row. Promoting somebody doesn't require opening anything.
Section access, spelled out
“All sections” or “four of ten” beside each person, so you can see at a glance who can reach what.
Status
Active, invited or disabled. An invitation that was never accepted says “invitation sent” rather than looking like a live account.
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.
