Roles and what each role can see

Last updated: 13 July 2026

Every team member on BuildTrack has one of five roles. The role decides which parts of the app they see and what they can change — so your crew see their site tasks without ever seeing prices, and your office team runs quotations and Progress Claims without extra noise. You choose the role when you invite someone, and can change it any time from Settings → Team.
