Troubleshooting
I see access denied on Complaints
Your role needs complaints.view. Ask an admin to update your role under Roles & members.
Import or Export buttons are missing
Import needs complaints.create. Export needs complaints.view. Check your assigned permissions.
Import failed or skipped rows
Title is required. Check column mapping, delimiter, and the 500-row limit.
Roles & members nav is missing
You need roles.manage or members.manage permission.
