A quick reference to the admin console’s tabs, the access scopes you can grant,
the order types, and every import type ILC MCP can write. For how any of these
work, follow the links into the guides.
Tab
What it’s for
Home
A read-only dashboard: connections, people connected, tokens, recent activity.
Connect
Give an AI client access — OAuth or a minted token — and revoke it. See Connect .
Reporting
Manage queries, reports, pages, and TV dashboards. See Reporting .
Accounting
Connect an accounting system to compare against Fishbowl (planned).
Docs
The notes ILC MCP keeps between sessions. See Docs .
Logs
Tool, change, and query activity. See Logs .
Configuration
Grants, network and database access, admins, plan. See Configuration .
The scopes you grant an OAuth user or mint into a token. This is the canonical
list; Connect explains how to grant them.
Scope
Grants
sql:read
Read-only SQL over allowlisted tables, and the admin tools for saved queries.
sql:export
Export query results to an Excel file, from a link that lasts 5 minutes.
query:run
List and run the saved queries granted to the user.
api:read
Fishbowl API calls that change nothing.
dataexport:write
Create, edit, and delete Data Module queries.
reports:draft
Draft and preview report pages, read-only against Fishbowl; never installs a page.
reports:install
Publish a CloudPage and manage which version is live (pin, roll back, lapse).
docs:read
Read the power-user notes and search Fishbowl’s own help.
docs:write
Write those notes, as a new revision; includes read.
imports:write
Use Fishbowl’s CSV imports (orders and other types) as the person.
integrations:read
Read granted integrations: status, logs, records, files, runs.
integrations:run
Run allowed actions on granted integrations, after a confirmed preview.
The read-only tier is sql:read + docs:read. The read-write tier adds
the write scopes.
Note
sql:read enables the raw-SQL path, but the raw-SQL tools themselves
(sql_query, sql_schema) are MCP-admin only . A non-admin operator reads
through saved queries (run_query) and the reporting surfaces, not free-form
SQL.
Placed with prepare_order_import. Which types a user may place, and whether an
order may be Issued , follows their Fishbowl group rights. See
Placing orders .
Order
Statuses
Sales order
Estimate, Issued
Purchase order
Bid Request, Issued
Transfer order
Entered, Issued
Manufacture order
Issued (Fishbowl builds a bill of materials into it)
Every import ILC MCP can write, by group. A user can only run the types their
Fishbowl import rights allow — ask “what am I allowed to import?” or see
Importing data .
Each runs through the approval step ;
a single import holds up to 500 rows.
