The My Permissions page gives you a clear view of what you can access in PawPlacer based on the roles assigned to your account. It's a read-only page; you can see your permissions here but can't change them. Role changes are managed by your organization's admin through the Team Members settings.
Accessing My Permissions
- Navigate to Settings from the sidebar
- Toggle to User Settings using the switch at the top of the sidebar
- Click My Permissions
Your Profile Card
At the top of the page, a card displays your basic identity and role information:
- Your name and email address
- Your base role badge (Owner, Admin, or Member)
- If you have additional specialized roles, a "+N additional roles" label appears beside the base role
Quick Stats
Next to your profile card, a summary shows three key numbers at a glance:
- Accessible Areas: How many feature areas you currently have access to
- Total Roles: The total number of roles assigned to your account
- Access Level: A badge showing your overall access tier: "Full Access" for admins and owners, "Privileged Role" for users with specialized elevated roles, or "Limited" for standard members
Overview Tab
The default tab shows all of PawPlacer's feature areas organized into three sections: Core Features, Coordination Tools, and Administration.
Each area appears as a tile in a grid:
- Areas you can access are highlighted with a green border and a checkmark icon. Clicking an accessible tile navigates you directly to that feature
- Areas you cannot access appear grayed out with a lock icon. Below the lock, badges show which role(s) would grant access to that area
If you don't have access to all areas, an amber banner appears at the top of the overview showing how many areas you can reach out of the total available (for example, "You have access to 8 out of 14 areas").
A search bar at the top lets you filter areas by name or description, which is helpful if you're looking for a specific feature.
My Roles Tab
This tab lists the roles currently assigned to your account. Each role displays its name, a brief description of what it covers, and a green checkmark confirming it's active.
If you don't have any specialized roles beyond your base membership, a message suggests contacting your administrator for access.
All Permissions Tab
This tab shows every role available in your organization's PawPlacer setup. Roles you hold are highlighted with a green checkmark so you can see at a glance which ones are active and which aren't.
Permissions
My Permissions is available to all users; no admin access is required. It's designed to help every team member understand what they can and can't do without needing to ask an admin.
