Job Status Permissions Are Now Enforced in the Job Actions Menu
BuildOps now applies the Change Job Status permission to the three-dot actions menu on the job. This keeps job status actions—such as Job Done and Reopen—consistent with the permissions configured for each user’s role.
What’s changing
Previously, a user who could edit a job could change its status from the three-dot menu, even when their role did not include the Change Job Status permission. The menu now checks that permission before allowing status changes.
Users with Change Job Status permission can continue using the menu as usual.
Users without the permission will see the status actions, but they will be unavailable and marked with a tooltip explaining that permission is required.
No existing permissions were automatically added or removed as part of this update.
How to give a user access
A company admin can update the role assigned to the affected user:
Go to Settings > Roles & Permissions.
Select the user’s role.
Under Service and Maintenance > Jobs, turn on Change Job Status.
Save the role.
Refresh BuildOps.
Turning on this permission gives access to every user assigned to that role. To grant access to only a few users, create a separate role with Change Job Status enabled and assign those users to it.
Who is affected?
This update affects users whose roles do not include Change Job Status. If a user previously changed job statuses through the three-dot menu but can no longer do so, an admin should review the user’s role permissions.
