Verify role and permission reports

Use this when a customer asks what Admin, Manager, or Viewer can do, or reports that a role can change more than expected.

You need:

  • Customer organization.
  • User email.
  • Reported role.
  • Action the user could or could not perform.
  1. Open ActiveAdmin.
  2. Find the customer organization.
  3. Find the user/admin user record if visible.
  4. Confirm the assigned role.
  5. Compare the report to the public role/permission documentation.
  6. If the customer says Viewer changed something, gather:
    • User email.
    • Page or workflow.
    • What field changed.
    • Timestamp.
    • Screenshot, if available.
  7. Do not change the user’s role unless the customer explicitly requested it and the requester is authorized.

You can confirm the user’s role and gather enough information for a product/engineering follow-up if behavior looks wrong.

  • Viewer appears able to mutate data.
  • A role behaves differently across tenants.
  • ActiveAdmin does not show enough information to confirm the report.
