Navigation, User Settings & User Roles

Moving between modules, updating your profile, role-based access levels, and personalising theme and language.

Last updated

The navigation menu and user settings let you reach every area of PLAIO quickly and tailor the interface to how you work.

The navigation menu sits on the left of the PLAIO interface and moves you between the main modules:

  • Demand
  • Supply
  • Production

Alongside the modules you will find the supporting sections:

  • Tasks
  • Data Management
  • Settings

Each module contains worksheets tailored to different planning and operational needs.

User settings

Click your username at the bottom left of the navigation panel to open user settings, where you can:

  • Update account information (name, email)
  • Change your password or enable 2FA
  • Upload or update your profile picture

User access management

PLAIO uses role-based access control. Access is controlled per module (Demand, Supply, Production, Masterdata) with four permission levels:

LevelWhat the user can do
No AccessCannot see the module
ViewCan see data but cannot change it
EditCan view and modify data within the module
ElevatedCan view, edit, and upload data files to the module

Administrators can create custom roles by combining permissions across modules. A Demand Planner role might have Edit access to Demand and View access to Supply; a Supply Planner role the reverse. Roles are assigned under Settings → Access Management.

See Access Management for the full permissions model.

Theme and language

  • Theme (Light/Dark) — switch from the bottom left of the navigation menu.
  • Language — choose your preferred language (some areas may remain untranslated).

Both preferences are saved for your session.

Logging out

To end your session securely, click Logout in the user menu.
