Who can do this

Organisation admins only.

Steps

  1. Go to Settings → Field access.
  2. Review the Templaters and Fitters columns.
  3. Turn each capability on or off for that role.
  4. Click Save.

Screenshot: Settings → Field access with separate toggles for templaters and fitters. (App route: /dashboard/settings/field-access)

What you can control

CapabilityWhat it allows on an assigned job
Add issuesView and raise issues (cannot resolve; no Issues board)

Post commentsWrite comments (existing comments stay visible)
Submit job formsComplete and submit the templater or fitter form

:::tip Defaults Add issues starts off. The other capabilities start on, matching how CutBench worked before this setting existed. :::

Important details

  • Rules apply only to assigned jobs — not every job in the shop.
  • Office staff are not affected; they keep their normal Jobs permissions.
  • Field workers never get the shop Issues board, and they cannot resolve issues even when Add issues is on.
  • Turning a capability off hides it in the job view and blocks it in the app.
