The permissions matrix

Every permission switch on a person's Permissions tab, what it allows and where it shows in MoveBoard.

6 min readChecked November 5, 2026

This is every switch on a person's Permissions tab, by what it controls. Administrators hold all of them — and a few actions that are administrators' only. Permissions are set per person and per branch; see How permissions work.

Dashboard, Orders, Mail, Tasks and Support are open to everyone in the office. The rest each have a switch in the Main menu card:

SwitchOpens
Accounts — Can see Accounts TabAccounts
Calendar — Can see Calendar TabCalendar
Messages — Can see Communication TabMessages
Calls — Can see Calls TabCalls (until it is first set, it follows the Messages switch)
Dispatch — Can see Dispatch TabDispatch, Trips and Carriers
Accounting — View payrollAccounting (payroll)
Claims — Can see Claims TabClaims, and the order's Claims pop-up
Invoices — Can see Invoices TabInvoices
Storage — Can see storage tabStorage
Reports — Can see Reports tab as adminReports
Settings — Can see Settings TabSettings

AI Leads isn't a permission: it shows for everyone once the AI receptionist is on for your company.
