Roles and actions: who can do what

Find the authority, authentication and review conditions for a task, with links to the working procedure.

Review edition · 25 October 2026 · For Owner, Author, Reviewer, Supervisor, Operator, Viewer

On this page

Use this reference for the real site. Or means either role is sufficient for the named action. Plus means the same person needs both the role and the additional authority. A requirement for another person is stated separately. Accounts grants and the local site assignment must both allow the role.

Recent authentication means completing the Accounts second factor within the last five minutes. Ordinary sign-in checks still apply to the other rows. Current site state, commercial admission, record revisions and any active holds can also refuse an otherwise permitted action.

Choose the task and authority

Task Who Additional conditions Related guide
Set up the site and restrict local role assignments Owner Initial setup and role assignment changes require recent authentication. The local assignment can only narrow Accounts grants. Procedure
Add or retire a checking station Owner Retirement is refused while an in-progress attempt has a live lease at that station. Arrange a pause or authorised takeover first. Procedure
Create configuration revisions and candidates Author Save components, aliases, per-kit quantities and policies before freezing the candidate. Reviewer authority alone does not edit the draft. Procedure
Review expected examples and run verification Author or Reviewer Review the exact example version separately from running proof. The ordinary native example review does not enforce two different people. Procedure
Activate configuration Reviewer Recent authentication and current passing proof with reviewed examples. Native activation does not itself impose a universal author exclusion; enrolled independent-review controls can add restrictions. Procedure
Withdraw or prepare rollback Reviewer Recent authentication. Withdrawal holds affected work. Rollback prepares fresh content for verification, subject to enrolled controls. Procedure
Import jobs or decide a source revision change Supervisor Review preview and each affected physical kit. Started or completed kits require explicit disposition before the new revision is activated. Procedure
Read jobs, requirement plans and retained history Author or Reviewer or Supervisor or Operator or Viewer Current working-role access is required. Owner alone has the complete-export exception below. Procedure
Claim a kit and record components, serials or lots Operator or Supervisor Select an enrolled station and hold current attempt control. Required serial or lot capture must be accepted before the component counts. Procedure
Take over a kit with another live owner Supervisor Use the explicit takeover route at the receiving station after arranging the physical handover. The new claim invalidates previous control. Procedure
Request an alternative, manual count or waiver Operator or Supervisor Current station ownership and the frozen policy must permit the request. Requesting does not satisfy the requirement. Procedure
Approve or decline an exception Supervisor Recent authentication. Native self-decisions are recorded where permitted, rather than described as independent. Alternatives need a new scan after approval; manual counts and waivers retain exceptions. Procedure
Reverse the latest own allocation Operator or Supervisor Use Reverse my last scan on open work, with a reason, as the same actor at the station that made the latest allocation. Procedure
Reverse another or an earlier allocation Supervisor Recent authentication. The original allocation is retained as reversed, and serial restrictions still apply. Procedure
Release a hold or cancel an attempt Supervisor Recent authentication and reasoned disposition. Hold release leaves a claimable paused attempt, subject to source and release barriers. Procedure
Open controlled rework Supervisor Recent authentication. Current or same-plan mode must pass its stated prerequisites; the new attempt starts from zero. Procedure
Complete an individual kit Operator or Supervisor Current attempt control and every required allocation or permitted disposition. Read Verified or Completed with exceptions distinctly. Procedure
Read evidence CSV, JSON or the checking sheet Author or Reviewer or Supervisor or Operator or Viewer Use the exact retained attempt. Expected requirements are preparation information, not checked physical contents. Procedure
Prepare and download the complete site export Owner or Supervisor Recent authentication at both stages, for the real site. Downloading does not close the site or cancel Accounts billing. Procedure
Allow or withdraw an exact OrderRun evidence read Owner Real site and recent authentication. Exact current source, job, line, kit and revision; no production history browsing is granted. Procedure
Connect or recover a protected ConfigSheets feed Supervisor Recent authentication, approved source map and reviewed producer request. The producer must be stopped during the supervised exchange. Procedure

Combine roles without losing the result

A Supervisor can perform ordinary station work directly in KitProof. A Viewer can inspect its evidence without gaining exception authority. When a checking operator changes, preserve the exact kit, attempt, serials, accepted allocations, waiting request and physical contents. The worked kit shows why an approved alternative and a manual-count exception can lead to different final results.
