Employees - Construxion Pro User Guide
The Employees page manages all users within the company — from the company owner down to field laborers. Available to Owner, Manager, and Administrative roles.
Employee List Page
Shows all company employees with:
- Name and avatar
- Role
- Division and crew assignments
- Email and phone
- Password setup status (whether they've set their password)
- Search and filter by role or division
Adding an Employee
- Click Add Employee on the Employees page
- Enter:
- First name and Last name
- Email address (used for login)
- Phone number
- Role — Owner, Manager, Administrative, Superintendent, Foreman, or Labor
- Divisions — Which divisions they belong to
- Crews — Which crews they're on

The employee receives an email invitation to set their password.
Employee Roles
Each role grants different levels of access throughout the app:
| Role | Description | Typical Position |
|---|---|---|
| Owner | Full access to everything, cannot be restricted | Company owner, CEO |
| Manager | Full access to managed divisions, crew scheduling, billing | Division manager, project manager |
| Administrative | Cross-division data access, office operations | Office manager, coordinator |
| Superintendent | Field supervision, read-only schedule, equipment | Site superintendent |
| Foreman | Crew management, daily logs, task completion | Crew foreman, lead |
| Labor | Basic schedule view with driving directions | Field worker |
For the complete access matrix, see Roles & Permissions.
Employee Side Sheet
Click an employee to open their detail side sheet (a panel that slides in from the right). This shows:
Profile Section
- Name, email, phone, avatar
- Role
- Division and crew assignments
Permissions Section
- Per-user permission toggles
- Owners see "Owners have full permissions" (no toggles — owner permissions cannot be restricted)
- For other roles, each permission can be toggled on/off as an override to the company's role defaults
Permissions System
Permissions are resolved through a 3-tier priority system:
- Per-user override — Set on the employee's side sheet. Overrides everything.
- Company role default — Set in Settings > Role Permissions. Applies to all users of that role.
- Hardcoded role default — Built-in defaults if nothing else is configured.
Available Permissions

Owner Immunity
Owners always have all permissions. This is enforced at multiple levels:
- The permission resolver short-circuits for owners
- API routes reject attempts to modify owner permissions
- The UI shows a notice instead of toggles
- Database triggers strip any owner-targeted permission writes
Division and Crew Assignments
Employees are assigned to divisions and crews:
- Divisions: Determines which jobs and data they can access (especially for Managers and Superintendents who only see their divisions' data)
- Crews: Determines which crew schedules they see (especially for Foremen and Labor)
These assignments are maintained as UUID arrays on the user record and stay in sync when modified from either the employee side sheet or the crew/division management pages.
Editing an Employee
From the employee side sheet:
- Click Edit to modify profile information
- Change role, divisions, or crews
- Toggle individual permissions
Changes to divisions and crews trigger a two-way sync — updating the employee also updates the crew/division member lists, and vice versa.
