Customer portal access for StudioDock users
StudioDock users with system roles can now also use customer portal and public booking flows with the same email, while customer-only portal accounts remain blocked from studio admin access.

What changed
Customer portal access now follows the authenticated email identity instead of requiring a customer-only account. StudioDock owners and team members can use portal and public booking flows with the same email address they use for StudioDock.
Admin access still requires a StudioDock system role through the admin session guard, so customer-only portal users cannot enter the studio admin area.
What changed
Why this matters
- Studios can invite collaborators without breaking those people’s customer portal access.
- StudioDock owners can test public booking and portal flows using their own account email.
- Customer-only magic-link users stay limited to customer-facing surfaces.
