Overview
In Limble, permissions are used to allow users to perform actions and see information about your organization within Limble.
Instead of configuring permissions for individual users, roles are groupings of permissions that are assigned to users by location.
By default, Limble offers Technician, Manager, and View Only as default roles. In addition to these, Enterprise customers can create custom roles to configure unique permission sets.
Many permissions have dependencies on other permissions in order to function properly, so read each permission description carefully.
Global permissions are only available to Super Users.
This article covers our entire permissions library and which permissions are included by default with the Technician, Manager, and View Only roles.
If you want to see a breakdown of which permissions are included with each default role, check out this article.

Included in this section (click on the permission to expand the description!):
View My Open Tasks (#42)
View My Open Tasks (#42)
What it does: This allows a user to view open tasks assigned to themself, their role, or their team.
This permission is often used with 'Edit and Complete My Open Tasks (#44)' so that the user can also edit and complete their tasks.
Dependencies: Enabling 'View All Open Tasks (#35)' will override this permission. If you do not want a user with this role to view all open tasks, including tasks that are not assigned to them, make sure to disable permission #35.
Default Roles: Technician, Manager
Edit and Complete My Open Tasks (#44)
Edit and Complete My Open Tasks (#44)
What it does: This allows a user to edit or complete open tasks assigned to themself, their role, or their team.
This permission is often used with 'View My Open Tasks (#42)' so that the user can edit and complete their tasks.
Dependencies: Enabling 'Edit and Complete Any Open Tasks (#23)' will override this permission. If you do not want a user with this role to edit and complete all open tasks, including tasks that are not assigned to them, make sure to disable permission #23.

Dependencies: 'View All Open Tasks (#35)' must be enabled for this permission to work.
Default Roles: Manager

Start New Tasks (#43)
What it does: This allows a user to start new tasks such as PMs and WOs.
Dependencies: Other permissions may restrict the ways a user can start a task. For example, if 'View All Open Tasks (#35)' is disabled, the user won't see the ‘Manage Work’ page. Therefore, they would be unable to start a work order from there.
Default Roles: Technician, Manager
Submit a Work Request (#45)
Submit a Work Request (#45)
What it does: This allows a user to submit a work request within the mobile and web applications.

What it does: This allows a user to change the time shown when they click ‘Log Time’ or ‘Complete’ in a task, also known as the task timer.
If this permission is disabled, a user cannot change the time entered in the task timer. If they want to add additional time spent on a task, they would need to open the task and wait until the task timer catches up to the initial time they entered in the task timer.
They will also be unable to enter less time in the task timer, so if they accidentally enter an amount larger than their time spent, they will be unable to correct their mistake.
We do not advise disabling this permission. If you choose to disable this permission, be sure to provide adequate staff training on how to use the task timer properly.
