# Roles and permissions

> Decide what managers and staff can see and change.

Checked 9 November 2026 · https://docs.seascape.bz/team/roles-and-permissions

There are five roles:

- **Super Admin**: the person who created the shop. Can do everything, and is the only role that changes permissions.
- **Admin**: everything except changing permissions.
- **Manager**: to start with, everything except Financials, Reports, the Payments list, cancelling or deleting bookings, removing signed waivers and the Seascape subscription.
- **Staff**: a limited set to start with: the dashboard, trips (including deleting them), reservations, manifests, the waitlist, clients, equipment, staff, messages, the till and refunds. Staff can't create or change reservations until you allow it.
- **Accountant**: sales, payments and reports. Settings are read-only.

A Super Admin sets what Managers and Staff may do in **Settings** → **Users and permissions** → **Access levels** → **Edit permissions**: tick or untick, then press **Save Changes**. It applies to everyone with that role.

A role that isn't allowed something doesn't see it and is refused it. Check the Staff column before you hand out logins.
