Company Roles

Owner, Admin, and Viewer roles explained.

Company Roles

Company roles apply to your entire organization. They control who can manage settings, users, stores, and company-wide data. There are three company roles in Arbeon.

Owner

The Owner has full control over the company. There is only one Owner per company.

What Owners Can Do

  • Manage all settings — Users, stores, contracts, leave types, attendance policies, task configuration, appointment settings, and more
  • Manage users — Create, edit, deactivate, and delete user accounts
  • Manage stores — Create, edit, and delete stores
  • Transfer ownership — Assign another Admin as the new Owner (the previous Owner becomes an Admin)
  • Delete the company — Permanently remove the company and all its data
  • Approve and reject — Leave requests, punch corrections, and other approval workflows
  • View everything — Schedules, timesheets, tasks, documents, chat, audit logs, and reports

Owner-Only Actions

  • Transfer ownership to another Admin
  • Delete the company

Admin

Admins can manage most aspects of the company but cannot transfer ownership or delete the company. Organizations often have multiple Admins.

  • Manage settings — Contracts, leave types, attendance policies, task labels and statuses, appointment settings

  • Delete the company — Only the Owner can delete the company
  • Remove the Owner — Only the Owner can transfer ownership; Admins cannot demote the Owner

Viewer

Viewers have read-only access to company data. They can see information but typically cannot create, edit, or delete resources.

What Viewers Can Do

  • View schedules — See shift schedules across stores
  • View timesheets — See time tracking data
  • View tasks — See tasks (and may be able to update tasks assigned to them, depending on configuration)
  • View documents — Access shared documents and folders
  • Use chat — Participate in conversations
  • View announcements — Read posted announcements

What Viewers Cannot Do

  • Create or edit users, stores, or contracts
  • Change settings
  • Approve leave or corrections
  • Create or pin announcements
  • Manage appointments or appointment settings
  • Access audit logs (in most configurations)

Viewer is useful for regional managers, auditors, or external stakeholders who need visibility without the ability to make changes.
