The employee role gives a teammate limited inventory workflow access, such as counting or fulfillment work, based on the locations assigned by an owner or manager.
What employee role means in inventory management
Employee access is designed for staff who perform day-to-day inventory tasks without needing setup or billing permissions. This keeps sensitive configuration work restricted.
Example
A front desk employee can count assigned supplies without seeing organization billing settings.
Why employee role matters
Employee role matters because inventory work usually involves more than one person. Role definitions help owners give staff the access they need for counts, fulfillment, or management without exposing billing and organization settings unnecessarily.
