Understanding roles and permissions

Written by Sven Poppelmann

Farmwalk uses four roles to control what team members can see and do within your organisation. Understanding these helps you set up your team with the right level of access.

The four roles

  • Owner - Full access to everything including billing and organisation settings. Typically the account creator or business owner.

  • Admin - Can manage team members, access all farms, and change farm settings. Cannot manage billing.

  • Manager - Can manage specific farms they've been given access to. Can upload evidence, create tasks, and run consult sessions on their farms.

  • Viewer - Read-only access to assigned farms. Can view evidence, tasks, and compliance status but cannot make changes.

Choosing the right role

  • Farm managers and consultants who do day-to-day work should be Managers

  • Office staff who need oversight should be Admins

  • External reviewers or auditors should be Viewers

Tips

  • Start with the minimum role needed - you can always upgrade later

  • Managers only see farms they've been specifically granted access to

  • Only Owners and Admins can invite new team members
