Yes. In **Jestor**, the SMB template lets you configure permissions on internal requests so each colleague only sees the requests they created themselves, keeping requests private between different requesters.

## How this permission setup works

Internal requests — such as access requests, hardware maintenance, or equipment swaps — can be configured to show only records linked to the logged-in user. This means that, at a certain stage of the flow, each person only sees the requests they opened themselves, with no access to requests made by other colleagues.

| Profile               | What they see                             |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| **Regular colleague** | Only the requests they created themselves |

## How to set up this view by requester

1. Go to the requests table's permission settings.
2. Set the rule to show only records created by the logged-in user.
3. Make the new-request form available to the whole team.
4. Use the requests dashboard for a consolidated view by category and stage, depending on each profile's access level.

## Why choose Jestor

- **Privacy between requesters**: each colleague tracks only what's theirs, with no mixing of other people's requests.
- **Organized categories and subcategories**: each area sees only the options relevant to its type of request.
- **Public request form**: any colleague can open a new request directly through a link.

### Can a manager see all requests, even ones from other colleagues?

Permissions can be set up differently by profile, allowing managers to have a broader view while colleagues see only their own.

### Are request categories fixed or customizable?

They're fully customizable: new categories and subcategories can be created and linked as the company needs.

### Can a colleague chat about their request from within the record itself?

Yes, each request has its own chat, where the colleague can talk with the team responsible for handling that request.
