Steps taken for a new account:
Create an organisation.
Add a shop to the new organisation, creating a new shop for each injection point.
Create a new contract or assign an existing one to the new organisation.
ℹ️ Service rates must be added to each new contract.
ℹ️ Services are returned based on the shipper's shop address matching the injection zones of the service rates defined in the contracts assigned to the organisation. This flexibility allows each contract to be as general or specific as needed.
Create a user with organisation-level scopes for the newly created organisation and send the welcome email to activate their account.

Manage shipments: Allows the user to create, register, and manage shipments.
Each scope has two levels:
Organisation: Provides access only to the specified organisations.
Broker: Provides access to all organisations under that broker, allowing oversight and management across multiple organisations within the platform.
ℹ️ This image shows the scopes set at the organisation level, meaning the user will only have access to that specific organisation and its shipments.
ℹ️ You can also assign scopes from multiple organisation resources, ideal for managing partnerships and 3PL operations.
ℹ️ The image below displays the same scopes applied at the broker level, granting the user access to manage all organisations and create shipments across them. This level of access should only be assigned to admin users.
Manage collections: Allows the user to book and manage carrier collections.
Manage contracts: Allows the user to create and edit contracts, as well as upload rates.
