Staff Operations

Foundation build

A separate staff workspace for reviewing students, groups, photos, placement, and support.

This first version establishes the staff app shell without changing the student app. The next step is staff authentication, then read-only operational data, then approval actions.

Separate from the student appBuilt as its own app so staff permissions, routes, and workflows stay isolated.

Safe setup path

The staff portal should become useful in layers. This keeps student production stable while we add real admin capabilities.

  1. Staff-only auth before connecting live data
  2. Read-only views before approve/edit actions
  3. Airtable remains the source of truth
  4. Student app stays separate and unchanged
