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.
