User roles and permissions
Scafflinq uses role-based access so each team member only sees what they need. Your role controls what you can access in the Web Portal and what you can manage within the company account.

Which role should I assign?
- Assign Inspector to anyone doing inspections on-site (mobile-only).
- Assign Supervisor to site or project supervisors, so they can be named on projects and receive toolbox talks and incident reports.
- Assign Manager to people who need oversight across projects but shouldn’t manage billing/users.
- Assign Admin only to trusted people who must manage team members and billing.
