# Access Control ### Overview Access Control ensures the right people have the right permissions in the WMS, protecting critical operations while keeping day-to-day workflows simple and efficient. From a single dashboard, administrators can define who can access specific warehouses, assign role-based permissions, and make real-time adjustments as responsibilities change. This not only safeguards sensitive processes but also reduces errors and improves accountability across the entire operation. ### How It Works Within the Admin section, the Manage Permissions panel provides full visibility into every user account, the permissions they hold, and the warehouses they are authorized to access. A search function makes it simple to locate specific users, review their current settings, and apply changes instantly. Administrators can grant or restrict access with just a few clicks, tailoring permissions to match each role’s responsibilities. As a result, operators only see the tools they need, while supervisors and managers retain control over more advanced functions — keeping the system organized, secure, and efficient.
### Why It Matters * Protects critical operations by preventing unauthorized users from making changes that could disrupt workflows. * Reduces costly mistakes by limiting each user’s access to only the functions they need. * Increases accountability with a clear record of who has access to which warehouses and permissions. * Simplifies system use for operators by removing unnecessary tools and options from their view. * Provides agility for growing teams by allowing permissions to be updated instantly as roles evolve. * Strengthens compliance and security standards by enforcing structured, role-based access across the organization. ### Best Practice --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.getlogentic.com/workflows/system-admin-and-settings/access-control.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
