Frequently asked questions
Platform administration FAQs
Common questions to consider when setting up ERP administration.
Can administrators manage multiple companies or branches?
Company and branch administration depends on the deployed LaraOffice architecture, licensing and configured permissions. Confirm the supported organisational structure before rollout.
Can permissions be assigned by role?
Role-based access can be used where supported by the deployment. Define roles around job responsibilities, test access boundaries and review privileged permissions regularly.
Does the platform keep a full audit log?
Audit coverage varies by module and implementation. Confirm which events, records and configuration changes are logged, how long records are retained and who can review them.
Can configuration changes be approved?
Approval workflows may be available or may require configuration or additional implementation. Establish a documented review process for high-impact changes even when automated approvals are not available.
Are backups and security controls included automatically?
Do not assume a particular backup, authentication or monitoring feature is enabled by default. Confirm responsibilities and capabilities for the actual hosting environment and deployment.
Are all features on this page available in every LaraOffice installation?
No. This page describes administration capabilities and recommended practices. Actual features, integrations and controls depend on the installed edition, configuration and implementation scope.
