Product change summary

Two access rules the app already intended are now enforced on the server.

Reports has been hidden from the sidebar for Base and Self-service since it launched, but the four surfaces behind it (index, report pages, CSV export, PDF export) were gated on asset permissions as a stand-in, with an in-code TODO saying a dedicated entity was the plan. A bookmarked or shared link still opened them. PermissionEntity.reports now exists and only ADMIN and OWNER carry read and export.

Booking bulk actions asked one question before opening the Actions menu: are you this booking's custodian. A Base user is the custodian of every booking they create, so past Draft the menu offered them Check in (403) and Remove (which went through, and sends the asset back to available, so the two were equivalent). Reported by a customer.

Verified against source, not the PR bodies

  • packages/permissions/src/matrix.ts[PermissionEntity.reports]: [] for BASE (line 28) and SELF_SERVICE (line 78); [read, export] for ADMIN (132) and OWNER (281).
  • Route guards: reports._index.tsx and reports.$reportId.tsx require reports:read; reports.export.$fileName[.csv].tsx and api+/reports.$reportId.generate-pdf.tsx require reports:export. The PDF route uses export, not read as #2961's body says, which is why the update entry names CSV and PDF together.
  • apps/webapp/app/hooks/use-sidebar-nav-items.tsx:194 — the Reports nav item is hidden: isBaseOrSelfService, which is the intent the server now matches.
  • apps/webapp/app/utils/bookings.tsREMOVABLE_STATUSES_BY_ROLE: BASE [DRAFT], SELF_SERVICE [DRAFT, RESERVED], ADMIN and OWNER the full non-closed set. canRoleRemoveBookingAssets resolves a role array with .some(), so [SELF_SERVICE, ADMIN] gets the admin answer.
  • Plan gating is unchanged and was checked: reports stay included on free, plus, team and enterprise.

Content changes

Factual corrections

  • content/knowledge-base/adding-assets-and-kits-to-a-booking.mdx — the Removing assets section said Ongoing and Overdue bookings are "unaffected, where pulling an item off a live booking is a normal correction", with no role qualification. True for Administrators and Owners only. New How far removal stays open, by role subsection with the table, plus the reason the two restricted roles stop where they do (removal from a live booking is a return, and a return is check-in, which neither role holds).

Content enhancements

  • content/knowledge-base/user-roles-and-their-permissions.mdx — the permissions matrix had no row for Reports at all, so nothing on the site ever said who can open them. Adds that row plus three rows for booking item removal by status, a Reports bullet under Administrator, and a Reports line under Self-service and Base. The Bookings bullets for both restricted roles now state where removal stops.
  • content/knowledge-base/configure-what-self-service-and-base-users-can-see.mdx — new bullet under What the Toggles Never Reach: neither toggle opens Reports. This is the misreading the page exists to prevent, and an admin switching booking visibility on could reasonably expect the compliance report to follow.
  • src/data/pricing.features.ts — the reports row description now says it is included on every plan and open to Administrators and Owners. The availability map is untouched; role is not a plan gate and the matrix still renders included across all four tiers.

New content

  • content/updates/role-gates-on-booking-actions-and-reports.mdx — changelog. Above the threshold deliberately: #2954 is not a silent fix. A Base custodian could remove items from a live booking and that reset the asset to available, so a workspace's behaviour genuinely changes, and it was customer-reported.

Deliberately not done

  • No alternatives sweep. Tightening our own permission gates is not a competitive claim, and "our reports are now correctly restricted" is not something to take to a competitor page.
  • No screenshots. Every image worth having here is a view from a restricted role: the Reports index absent from a Base sidebar, the booking Actions button not drawn. The media pipeline holds one credential, shelf-demo-email, which is an admin, so an admin capture would show exactly the unchanged state. This is the same blocked follow-up as self-service-demo-login-for-media-pipeline; one extra demo login unblocks a growing list of role-visibility images.
  • content/knowledge-base/getting-started-with-reports.mdx and content/features/reports.mdx are skipped here because open PR content: what Booking Compliance measures, who may open Reports, and how report money adds up #265 is already rewriting both. The KB article's "Who Can Run Reports" section currently reads "All workspace members with access to assets can open the Reports index", which #2961 has made false. That correction is going onto content: what Booking Compliance measures, who may open Reports, and how report money adds up #265's branch rather than into a guaranteed conflict on the updated: line.

Review notes

  • The three removal rows in the matrix are deliberately three rows rather than one. Removal is status-dependent per role and a single true/false row would have to lie about at least one of them.
  • Ownership is a separate check the app still makes and the copy still says so: the table answers "may this role act at this status", not "is this their booking".

Reports moved from an asset-permission stand-in to a dedicated reports entity
held by ADMIN and OWNER only, and booking item removal is now gated on role and
status on every surface. Documents both, adds the removal matrix, and records
that neither visibility toggle reaches Reports.

Addresses the CodeRabbit review on website-v2#268. "Check in selected items"
stays unhyphenated because that is the button label.

Applied. "Check-in came back as an error" is the noun, so it takes the hyphen; Check in selected items stays as-is because that is the button's own label, quoted verbatim from apps/webapp/app/components/booking/booking-assets-column.tsx.

Correction to the file path in my previous comment: the label is at apps/webapp/app/components/booking/list-bulk-actions-dropdown.tsx:292 (and repeated as the dialog heading at bulk-partial-checkin-dialog.tsx:193). The point stands — it is quoted verbatim, so it keeps the app's own unhyphenated spelling.
