Permissions and audit trail in BYTE: who can see, create and approve
Give each person only the access their job needs. Decide, module by module, who can see, create and approve, require approval for manual journals, and check the audit log to see who changed what.
Last updated: 2 November 2026
What it covers
- Roles and a permission registry: decide who can see, create, edit and approve, module by module.
- Approvals for manual journals.
- An audit log of changes, in daily use, so you can see who changed what and when.
- Sign-in that can use a one-time code from an authenticator app.
- Modules switched on per company, so each company works with the modules it uses.
How it works
- Choose the roles your team needs, such as accountant, sales lead or auditor.
- For each module, decide who can see, create, edit and approve.
- Require approval for manual journals, so an approver reviews them.
- Check the audit log to see who changed what, and when.
