Overview
When deciding each staff member’s permissions, it’s helpful to think about the staff’s responsibilities and everyday duties. This will help you determine what level of access to assign each staff member.

  • Less Access
    Staff with less access are those with the least amount of responsibility who only need to utilize the most basic functions of the software. They should be given enough access to do their job, but could be restricted from seeing higher level options and modifying others’ work.
  • More Access
    Staff with more access have more responsibility in the shop. This level of access will allow the user to do their job and monitor what others are doing in the shop. They will be able to edit others’ work and view/edit more sensitive financial information.

 

Defaults
Owner Default
Whoever sets up the Shop Manager account is automatically granted the most access. 

New Staff Default
When a new user is created, their permissions settings default to the least amount of access.
