A farm account is a record on the My Cattle Manager website that keeps track of cattle farming activities of a specific farm/farmer.
These are personnel working on your farm or shareholders in your farming business. Currently, they belong to either of the two roles: Managers and Data Clerks (also called Data Entrants).
The roles assigned to each user control the permissions available to each user on both the mobile and the web version of the app. The following are permissions that can be granted to a farm user:
Only the farm owner can add or remove user accounts and add/revoke permissions!
Note: Changes to a user's permission are applied after the user syncs or updates their app with the website.
Only the farm owner can create farm users:
Keep the app and website in sync and understand how shared records are updated.
