Managing users and roles is admin only.
GrowTak controls access with roles. Each user has one or more roles, and each role grants a set of permissions. Every company starts with two roles — Admin and Supervisor — and you can create more.

​
Adding a user

Go to Users and select New user.
Create user form
FieldNotes
NameThe person’s full name.
EmailRequired and unique within the company.
MobileExactly 10 digits.
UsernameLogin name — 3–20 characters, letters/numbers/underscores. Often the mobile number.
PasswordRequired when creating. Leave blank when editing to keep the existing password.
RolesOne or more roles (e.g. Supervisor).
StatusActive or Inactive. An inactive user cannot sign in.
Company adminToggle to grant full company access (bypasses all permission checks). Use sparingly.
RemarkOptional notes.
A Company admin can see and do everything in the company, including settings, payments, and closing batches. Give this only to owners/managers, not to field staff.

​
The two default roles

Admin

Full access to every screen and every batch in the company.

Supervisor

Field-focused access: day entries, medications, the six transaction types, and lifting — but only for batches assigned to them, and active batches only.

​
Assigning supervisors to batches

The Supervisor role’s “assigned batches only” rule is what scopes a supervisor’s view. A supervisor is linked to a batch on the batch itself:
1

Open or create a batch

Go to Batches and create or edit a batch. See Creating a batch.
2

Pick the Supervisors

In the Supervisors field, choose one or more users. They can be changed at any time.
3

Save

From now on, those supervisors see this batch (and can record entries for it); others with the Supervisor role do not.
A batch can have more than one supervisor, and a supervisor can be assigned to many batches.

​
Roles & permissions (Shield)

Open Roles (under More) to view or edit roles and their permissions.
Roles list
Permissions are fine-grained — each resource (batches, day entries, transactions, reports, etc.) has separate view / create / edit / delete permissions, plus a few special ones:
PermissionEffect
Manage assigned only batchLimits the user to batches they’re assigned to (the heart of the Supervisor role).
See closed batchAllows viewing closed batches (otherwise only active ones appear).
Journal & GC on batchAllows seeing the Journal and GC Calculation tabs on a batch.
To create a custom role, select New role, name it, tick the permissions it should have, and save. Assign it to users from the Users screen.
Role changes are recorded in the Activity Log (under More), so you can see who changed whose access and when.
