Church Cashbook Data Schema Manual

Deanery grouping for scope assignments and reporting.

Purpose

The deaneries table defines deanery groupings used to organise churches and support deanery-scope RBAC.

How it relates to the system

• churches.deanery_id references deaneries.id (FK).
• Deanery-scoped role assignments can grant access across multiple churches within the deanery.

Operational notes

• Deaneries should be managed centrally; changes can affect RBAC and reporting.
• Avoid deletion in normal operation; treat as reference data.
