# Job Manager app

Job Manager uses app access, administrator permissions, and backend action checks.

## Grant app access

Assign `JOB_MANAGER_APP_VIEW` to users who need to open Job Manager.

The app checks this permission during sign-in. A user without app access cannot use the operational pages described below.

## Review verified permissions

| Permission             | Current use                                                                                                   |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `JOB_MANAGER_APP_VIEW` | Open the Job Manager app                                                                                      |
| `COMMON_ADMIN`         | Create, edit, save, and delete `Message types` and `Remote systems`, including protected configuration fields |
| `COMMERCEUSER_VIEW`    | Use `Go to OMS` from `Settings` when that button is available in the connected environment                    |

## Review job-specific access

A service job can show `Permission Group` on its Job Details `Overview` tab. The backend can require this job-specific permission before a user runs or manages that job.

Grant only the permission group required for the user’s operational role.

## Understand page access

After app access is granted, the current menu contains:

* `Dashboard`
* `Catalog`
* `Run history`
* `File history`
* `Manual uploads`
* `Message history`
* `Message types`
* `Remote systems`
* `Documents`
* `Export history`
* `Settings`

Some actions also depend on record state and backend authorization. The app shows only actions available for the current user and record.

## Protect integration settings

Remote-system definitions can contain secrets. Give `COMMON_ADMIN` only to users who maintain integration configuration.

Do not include secrets, payloads, or customer data in permission screenshots or access requests.

## Learn the current workflows

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.hotwax.co/documents/system-admins/administration/introduction/job-manager-app.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
