WMS user permissions
Cin7 Core offers fine-grained control over user permissions, allowing you to select which users can see tasks, authorize tasks, authorize pick but not pack, and more. Permissions applied in Cin7 Core also apply to users of the WMS app. In this article we will explain which permissions apply to the warehouse management system application features.
Many inventory, purchase, and sale permissions apply to the WMS application in the same way as to users of Cin7 Core. Please see Introduction to users and Manage roles and User permissions explained for how to configure user permissions.
