Introduction
Inventories in BrainSTEM provide a way to track and manage consumable resources within a laboratory or research group. They allow for organized tracking of supplies and materials needed for experiments. Each inventory can be associated with specific groups and can be either public or private.

You manage permissions through the management tab, where you can assign individual users and groups access levels to an inventory. Inventories have four permission levels: membership (read access), contributors, managers, and owners.
Consumable stocks inherit permissions from their associated inventory.
