Mobile roles and permissions

Updated Oct 24, 2026
DataMagik Mobile

Mobile roles and permissions

The permission for each area of the app, the three sensitive actions, and the ten default roles.

Assign roles in Admin → Company User Manager. You can see each role's permissions in Role Manager and build your own roles from these permissions; see Users, Roles & Permissions. The app shows a Home tile for each area a person can use. A change reaches the phone the next time the app opens or comes back to the front.

Area permissions

Each area has a Use permission and an Admin permission. Admin includes Use.

Who can sign in by badge

Badge sign-in on a shared handheld is for floor accounts: people who hold only area Use permissions (not Mobile Admin), optionally with DataMagik - Shop Floor Viewer or DataMagik - Maintenance. Anyone with an Admin permission, a sensitive action, or any other DataMagik permission signs in on their own phone. Of the default roles, Material Handler, Loader, Operator, Maintenance Tech and Guard can sign in by badge.

Shop Floor in the app

The Shop Floor section of the app (my actions, active issues, checks and boards) uses the Shop Floor permissions, not the Mobile ones: DataMagik - Shop Floor Viewer, DataMagik - Maintenance or DataMagik - Shop Floor Admin, with the Shop Floor license. Mobile permissions alone do not show it.
