When someone says I cannot access it, do not immediately add a permission. Several different gates can produce the same visible result. Use this order so you fix the real layer.
1

Check workspace access

The workspace must be active for an ordinary user. A locked workspace can block the whole app before role permissions matter.
2

Check plan capability

The current plan must include the product area or paid capability. Permission cannot make a capability available when the workspace is not entitled to use it.
3

Check installed product areas

The workspace must have the area enabled. An allowed plan area can still be hidden when the workspace has not installed or enabled it.
4

Check role or user area access

Role defaults and user overrides decide whether the person can enter Sales, Accounting, Reports or another area.
5

Check record scope

The record must fall inside Mine, selected user, team or workspace scope available to that user.
6

Check the action permission

The user may still need a specific permission such as create, edit, assign, post, reopen, export or manage.

Example: user sees Invoices but cannot post

The Agreements area may be available and the invoice may be visible, while invoice.post or the workspace posting entitlement is missing. Giving broader record scope would not fix that problem.

Example: user can edit deals but cannot see another rep’s deal

The action permission can be valid while record scope remains restricted. Check team or workspace visibility permissions such as deal.view_all rather than changing the edit permission.

Example: Reports is missing entirely

Check the Reports entitlement and enabled product area before changing report.view.

If the button exists but the backend rejects the action

Refresh the page and check the workspace, role, scope, and record state. Lynka applies the final access decision when the action is submitted. If the result still does not match what the screen shows, report the affected area and action to support.
