Understanding the Permission Catalog (SEE vs DO)

Every custom role is just a selection from one fixed catalog of permissions — there's no way to invent a new permission, only to combine the existing ones differently per role.

SEE permissions (view access)

  • See Financial Totals
  • See Analytics
  • See Reports
  • See Students
  • See Discounts
  • See Fee Structure
  • See Invoices
  • See Audit Log
  • See Activity

DO permissions (action access)

  • Manage Students, Manage Fee Structure, Manage Invoices
  • Request Discounts, Approve Discounts
  • Record Manual Payments, Approve Manual Payments
  • Request Refunds, Approve Refunds
  • Charge on Terminal
  • Resolve Payment Reconciliation
  • Run Year-End Rollover
  • Manage School Profile, Manage Academic Structure, Manage Payment Config, Manage Discount Config, Manage Reminder Config, Manage Team

Who bypasses the catalog entirely

The account owner, Fees101's own staff, and any role flagged as an administrator bypass every individual permission switch — they always have full access regardless of what a role's matrix says.
