Who can see and manage scheduling?

Scheduling surfaces are gated by permission, not just role, so you can tune access through custom roles.

The core permissions

Permission Grants
bookings:view See the calendar and the bookings list
bookings:create Create a booking
bookings:manage Full dispatch control — check-in/out, approve/deny, the dispatch board

What each surface requires

Surface Required
Schedule (calendar) bookings:view
Bookings list bookings:view
New booking bookings:create
Dispatch Board bookings:manage
Waitlist waitlist:view or bookings:manage

How roles map

  • Admins / managers carry bookings:manage and see everything.
  • Instructors typically see their own bookings and the students assigned to them.
  • Students see their own bookings and the self-booking UI, when allow_student_self_booking is on.
  • A dispatcher role can be scoped to the dispatch board and check-in/out without full management.

Admin-managed surfaces

The configuration surfaces carry their own gates:

Surface Required
Blocks bookings:manage
Recurring recurring:view or bookings:manage
Resources (aircraft) aircraft:manage
Locations settings:manage
Endorsements settings:manage or students:manage
