Access Restricted Modal

If a child branch user attempts to access restricted pages directly through routes, Librainian now displays an Access Restricted dialog instead of allowing unauthorized access.

A reusable access restriction component has been added across the application for consistent permission handling.

Block Interaction for Deactivated Branches

If a child branch account is deactivated, users cannot continue using the application until access is restored. This prevents accidental usage of inactive branches.

Working hours now use a dedicated time selection modal instead of manual text input. Implemented for:

• Create Branch
• Edit Branch Benefits:
• Faster input
• Better accuracy

• Mobile App
• Web Dashboard
