ML Work Orders™ uses a series of Roles which contain specific Permissions to determine what aspects of the system a user can access and what they can do.  Each district can create custom names of the roles which they want to use and assign the appropriate permissions. 


There are 3 permissions involving Inventory:

1. Manage Inventory: Gives User the ability to Add, Edit, or Adjust inventory items
2. View Inventory: Gives the User the ability to view inventory items, but does not allow them to edit these items.
3. Add Inventory to Work Orders: Gives the User the ability to add inventory items to work orders.
