What Repair Shop Managers Can Do

Managers have access to all the tools required to run your shop effectively, including:

  • 🔧 Create, edit, and manage repair jobs

  • 🧾 Add payments, print invoices, work orders, and repair tickets

  • 📆 Manage job and estimate appointments via the calendar

  • 🔄 Assign or reassign jobs to technicians

  • 📢 Request job updates from technicians

  • 🛠️ Add devices, services, and parts

  • 👥 Manage customers and technician profiles

This gives managers the workflow control they need — without overwhelming them with admin settings.

What Repair Shop Managers Cannot Do

To protect your business settings and sensitive operations, managers do not have access to:

  • ❌ Creating or managing admin or other manager accounts

  • ❌ Deleting key records (jobs, payments, customers, estimates, etc.)

  • ❌ Changing system-wide settings or configuration options

  • ❌ Viewing reports, analytics, or sales summaries

This ensures operational accountability, data integrity, and administrative security.
