Roles and Permissions

Every team member has one role, which sets what they can see and do. On top of the role, owners and administrators can tick granular access options to hide more from one person, for example to stop a receptionist from seeing reports or to hide phone numbers.

What a team member can use also depends on your plan. A role never unlocks a module that is not in your plan. See Plan Modules.

Granular access​

Below the role, the team member form has these checkboxes. Ticking one takes that access away from this member only.

OptionWhat it does
Internal Staff/Not Available for AppointmentsThe member does not take bookings and is not offered to clients. Always on for Receptionist, Scheduler and Accountant/Finance Manager.
No Application AccessThe member cannot log in at all and no invitation is sent. Use it for people who only need to appear on the calendar. Ticks all the options below.
No Finance Module AccessHides Finance (payments, orders, subscriptions, invoices, statements, expenses), the Invoices report and revenue on the dashboard. Always on for Scheduler.
No Catalogue Module AccessHides the Catalogue (services, classes, products, plans). Always on for Scheduler.
No Communication Module AccessHides the Inbox and Engage (contacts, segments, broadcasts, automations, templates) and the Communications report. Forms & Flows moves under Settings. Always on for Accountant/Finance Manager.
No Client Module AccessHides Clients. Also ticks No Client Notes Module Access. Always on for Accountant/Finance Manager.
No Client Notes Module AccessHides client notes while keeping the rest of the client record.
No Report Module AccessHides Reports. Only Owner, Administrator and Accountant/Finance Manager can see reports at all, so for other roles it is always ticked.
Mask Contact Phone NumbersShows phone numbers partly hidden in lists, reports and exports, so the member can message people without copying their numbers.

Options that a role always includes are greyed out.

The Granular Access checkboxes in the team member form: No Finance Module Access, No Catalogue Module Access, No Communication Module Access, No Client Module Access, No Client Notes Module Access, No Report Module Access and Mask Contact Phone Numbers

Change a team member's role or access​

  1. Go to Settings > Team Members.
  2. Click Edit Team Member (the pencil) next to the member.
  3. Change the User Access Role or tick and untick the access options.
  4. Click Save. You see Team member updated successfully.

The change applies the next time the member loads the app. Their sidebar goes back to the default order, because the menu they see has changed.

Tips​

  • Give the Administrator role only to people you trust with billing and team changes.
  • Use Accountant/Finance Manager for an outside bookkeeper: they see invoices and reports but not your conversations or client records.
  • To see who changed what, open the Activity Log.
