# Permissions Permissions control what users can do in Flow Retail. This page is a complete reference of all available permissions — useful when creating custom roles or understanding what each system role includes. {% hint style="success" %} #### Looking for role recommendations? Most users don't need to know individual permissions. See Roles for guidance on which role to assign. {% endhint %} ### Permission levels Permissions can be assigned at three levels: | Level | Description | | ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Tenant** | Applies across **all stores** and **all organizations** in your account | | **Organization** | Applies to **all stores** within a specific organization | | **Store** | Applies to a **specific store** only | When a permission supports multiple levels, users can be granted access at any of these levels. Tenant-level access grants the broadest scope, while store-level access is the most restrictive. *** ### All permissions #### Tenant-level permissions These permissions can only be assigned at the tenant level and grant access across all stores. | Permission | Name | Description | | ---------------- | -------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | PRODUCT | Product Management | View, create, edit, and delete products, including variants, barcodes, media, and product properties. | | CATEGORY | Category Management | Manage product categories used to organize your product catalog. | | BRAND | Brand Management | Create, edit, and delete product brands. | | PRODUCT\_GROUP | Product Group Management | Manage product groups used for filtering, reporting, and organizing products. | | SUPPLIER | Supplier Management | Manage supplier records and supplier-product links, including purchase pricing. | | WARRANTY | Warranty Management | Configure warranty types and rules that can be attached to products. | | USER | User Management | Manage user accounts, invite new users, assign roles, and configure access. | | STORE | Store Management | Create and configure stores, including store settings and opening hours. | | WAREHOUSE | Warehouse Management | Manage warehouse locations within stores, used for stock organization and inventory tracking. | | DEVICE | Device Management | Register and manage POS devices, including device configuration and pairing. | | PRINTER | Printer Management | Configure printers for receipt and label printing, including printer assignments. | | CONSENT | Consent Management | Manage customer consent types and GDPR-related data collection preferences. | | NUMBER\_SERIE | Number Series Management | Configure number sequences for orders, invoices, and other documents. | | DELIVERY\_METHOD | Delivery Method Management | Configure delivery providers, shipping methods, and delivery options. | | ORDER\_HANDLING | Order Handling Management | Configure order handling workflows, status transitions, and automated processing rules. | | PAYMENT\_METHOD | Payment Method Management | Manage payment methods, configure payment providers, and set up payment terminals. | | EXTENSION | Extension Management | Install, configure, and manage third-party extensions and integrations. | | ORGANIZATION | Organization Management | Create and manage organizational units used to group stores. | | TENANT | Tenant Management | Access tenant-level settings, branding, and core business configuration. | | IMPORT | Import Management | Import products, customers, and other data via bulk import tools. | | WEBHOOK | Webhook Management | Set up webhooks to notify external systems about events. | | TILL\_OPERATIONS | Till Management | Manage cash registers (tills), perform cash counts, and handle daily cash reconciliation. | | PRICELIST | Pricelist Management | Create and manage price lists for different customer groups, currencies, or sales channels. | | TENANT\_ADMIN | Tenant Administrator | Full administrative access to all functions.
