Granular Permissions: Flexibility + Control for YardSmart Users

Unlock Flexibility & Control with YardSmart’s New Granular Permissions Feature

September 03, 20252 min read

 Managing a yard takes flexibility. Your team members wear multiple hats — and your software should keep up. That’s why we’re excited to roll out one of our most requested features:

🔧 Granular Permissions — live now in YardSmart.

This update gives owners and managers more control than ever over who can access what — without compromising security, clarity, or efficiency.

What Are Granular Permissions?

Every user in YardSmart is assigned a base role — like Field Worker, Team Leader, or Admin — which comes with a defined set of permissions based on their job description.

But real life isn’t always that neat.

Now, you can elevate permissions on a user-by-user basis to match your day-to-day needs.

 ✅ You can’t remove core permissions tied to a base role (to keep things clean and secure).
✅ But you
can add specific permissions — quickly, clearly, and with full control.

All it takes is a few clicks from the Admin dashboard.

Why It Matters

Granular Permissions are about giving you the right mix of structure and flexibility — so your people can step up when needed, and you can stay confident in who has access to what.

A Few Real-World Examples

1. Field Worker Steps In on Sales Floor
Let’s say your production tech usually sets vehicles in the yard. But today, you’re short-handed up front.

No problem — just add the “Manage POS” permission to their account. They can now ring up parts at the sales counter, then get back to the yard when things calm down.

2. Team Leader Trains for Management
Got a Team Leader preparing to become a Store Manager? Give them visibility into higher-level operations without a full role change.

Simply add the “View EOD Close Out” permission so they can learn how to perform end-of-day reports — one of the key responsibilities of management.

You stay in control. They stay on track.

Easy to Adjust, Anytime

 ✅ Add permissions on the fly — via dropdown menu
Remove them just as easily, whenever needed
✅ No role-switching headaches or system workarounds

Granular Permissions make YardSmart even more adaptable to your operation — especially in hybrid, fast-paced, or cross-trained teams.

The Bottom Line

At YardSmart, we know that a great yard doesn’t run on rigid rules — it runs on smart systems that flex with your team.

With Granular Permissions, you get the security of structured roles with the freedom to adjust access in real time.

Because your team isn’t static — and your yard management software shouldn’t be either.
