Roles and Permissions
Warepeak assigns every account one of four roles. Your role determines what you see in the sidebar and what actions you can perform; there are no URL “shortcuts” to reach sections your role doesn’t show.
The four roles
| Role | Description |
|---|---|
| User | Works from one or more assigned places. Checks available items and creates their own ship/pickup requests. |
| Warehouse Manager | Approves requests and manages items, places, rental providers, external orders, and reports. |
| Owner | Full access to company operations (like the Warehouse Manager, plus creating/editing places and managing the company’s default language). |
| Admin | Platform super-admin, with additional access to users and audit logs. |
ℹ️ Only the Owner and Admin can set the company’s default language; any user can additionally choose their own personal language (see Getting Started).
What each role sees in the menu

⚠️ Warehouse Managers can create and edit rental providers, but cannot delete them; only the Owner and Admin can remove a rental provider.
The Requests screen by role
- A User only sees, under Requests, the requests they created themselves.
- Warehouse Manager, Owner, and Admin see all company requests on that same screen, not just their own. However, per the table above, only the Warehouse Manager can approve or reject requests.
ℹ️ To understand what a request’s statuses mean (Pending, Approved, Partially Fulfilled, etc.), see Request Lifecycle.
