Support Access — SanadiqCloud
Product version: 1.0.0+1 Last updated: 2026-10-14 Audience: Organization owners, organization members, and SanadiqCloud platform staff
A. What it is
Support access is how SanadiqCloud staff get into your organization's workspace. To look at your data, a staff member asks from a support case, and the organization owner approves. Access is temporary, tied to that case, and every action is recorded in your audit log under the staff member's own name.
- Requested from a support case. Only SanadiqCloud platform administrators can request it.
- Approved by the owner only. Administrators, custom roles and SanadiqCloud staff cannot approve. The approval permission (
support:access:approve) cannot be added to a custom role. - Time-limited. 60 minutes by default, 4 hours at most. A request that nobody decides within 24 hours expires.
- Without approval, staff can still read and reply in the case conversation and its attachments, and nothing else in your workspace.
B. Access levels
| Level | Staff can |
|---|---|
| Read only (default) | View products, inventory, sales, finance, media, support cases and organization settings |
| Operational (can make changes) | Everything in Read only, plus create and update catalog items, inventory records, customers, sales orders and media |
Never allowed at any level: deleting or restoring records; finance changes (accounts, journals, period close, cash transfers, expenses, e-invoicing submission or credentials); marking invoices paid or void; members, invitations and roles; billing and subscription; changing organization settings; data export; approving support access; deleting the organization.
C. For organization owners
- When staff request access you receive a notification. Open the support case.
- The case shows a Support access request panel with the access level, the duration and the staff member's reason.
- Choose Approve or Reject (you can add a note when rejecting).
- While access is active, your workspace shows a Support access active · Case … · until … banner, and the case panel shows the end time.
- Choose Revoke at any time. Staff leave your workspace immediately.
Access also ends on its own when:
- the time is up;
- the case is resolved or closed;
- the organization is deactivated or deleted;
- the staff member signs out, ends the access, or their account is removed.
The banner is shown to the owner. Other members do not see it.
D. For SanadiqCloud staff
- Open the case from the platform support queue. In the Organization access panel choose the Access level, the Duration and a Reason (the organization sees it), then Request access. The status shows Waiting for approval; Cancel request withdraws it.
- When the owner approves you receive a notification, and the Admin Dashboard shows an Access approved · organization row under Support access until the access ends. Selecting it opens the case at its Organization access panel.
- Approval never takes you into the organization by itself. Choose Enter workspace on the case panel when you are ready. Data may take a few seconds to load right after approval.
- A SUPPORT ACCESS banner shows the case and the time left. Exit on the banner, or End access on the case panel, ends the access; you need a new request to come back.
- When access ends for any reason (revoked, expired, case closed), the app returns you to the Admin Console and tells you why.
- The tenant switcher lists your Approved support access so you can enter from there too.
- Reloading the browser keeps you in an organization only if you had entered it and the access is still active. Otherwise you land on the Admin Dashboard.
Rules:
- One open request or grant per organization at a time.
- Requests are refused for resolved or closed cases and for inactive organizations.
- Platform employees cannot request access; ask a platform administrator.
- The organization detail page shows View support cases, and the tenant switcher lists only organizations you have approved access to.
