Roles & Permissions

Granular control over who can do what

CSM uses a role-based permission system that puts you in control of every sensitive action in the shop. Define roles — Technician, Advisor, Parts Manager, Owner — and assign each one a precise set of permissions. Staff members inherit the permissions of their role, and you can adjust them individually when needed.

Permissions cover every module in the system: who can open a Repair Order, who can set prices, who can view financial totals, who can approve labor, who can access reports. You define the rules; CSM enforces them automatically.

  • Create custom roles that match your shop structure exactly
  • Permissions cover every module — service, parts, billing, reports, and settings
  • Individual overrides for staff members who need a different access level
  • Sensitive data like pricing and financial totals can be hidden from non-managers
  • Permission changes take effect immediately without requiring a re-login
  • Audit trail shows who did what, when, and from which role
