ERP Integration with Access Control and Role-Based Permissions
ERP access control means ensuring each person sees and decides only what makes sense for their role, without relying on the tax system's native limitations for that. Jestor solves this with role-based permissions and a Security module, connected to the ERP via ERP Expansion.
Why ERP access control tends to fall short
Traditional ERPs usually have generic permissions — a user sees everything in that module, or nothing at all. Intermediate levels are missing, like "can see the value but can't approve" or "can approve only up to a certain limit."
How to structure more granular access control
The solution is adding a finer permissions layer on top of the process, defining exactly what each role can view, edit, or approve, field by field if necessary.
Common pains with generic access control:
- Employees seeing financial information they shouldn't
- No distinction between "viewing" and "actually approving" the same type of request
- Difficulty restricting access to a specific field, not just an entire module
- Complicated audits when permissions aren't clear
How more granular control solves this:
- Each role gets specific permissions, by field and by action
- You can separate who views from who actually approves
- Sensitive access stays restricted to whoever really needs it
- Audits get simpler, with permissions documented in the system
Where Jestor fits in:
- Applies role-based permissions, with granular control by field and action
- Uses the Security module to manage this access
- Expands the ERP with this control layer via ERP Expansion
- Keeps a record of who has access to what, for audit purposes
| Access level | What it allows |
|---|---|
| View | See the request, without being able to decide |
| Approve | Decide on the request, within the role's threshold |
Why choose Jestor for access control
