Users and Permissions

Roles

Role Can Do
Admin Everything, including Settings, approving customers, payroll and removing records
Staff Only what the admin ticks for them
Salesman Their own customers, orders and performance — no costs, suppliers or company-wide reports
Delivery Only the Delivery page: Mark Delivered and the Delivery Receipt

Add a User

Settings → Users & Permissions → add a user: username, password, role. For staff, tick what they may do, grouped by area (sales, payments, stock, reports…). Hover over a permission to see what it allows.

The permission ticks for a staff user

Your plan sets how many users can be active: Startup 3, Enterprise 10, Superuser 20.

Start Page

Open a user to choose the page they see after signing in — e.g. Stock Arrivals for the warehouse.

Review Permissions

Review Permissions shows every permission against every user in one table. Click a box to give or take a permission.

Someone Leaves

Deactivate the user — they’re signed out everywhere and can’t sign in. Their past work stays in the records and the Activity Log.

Every change in the app is kept in the Activity Log (Admin → Activity Log): who, when, from which device, and what changed. It can’t be edited or deleted.

Not all features are available in every copy of Distribution App. Some features, such as Payment QR Code, Salesman Locations and Signed Delivery Receipts, are add-ons that must first be switched on in Settings › Features. Once the free trial ends, the app needs a license key or activation code. Distribution App runs on Mac and Windows; staff phones and tablets connect through the office computer on the same Wi-Fi network. Tax records, receipts and reports follow Philippine (BIR) rules and may not suit businesses in other countries. Screens in this guide show the Demo Company — all names, addresses and prices are made up — and may look slightly different from your version of the app. Features may change without notice.
