Modified on Thu, 27 Oct, 2022 at 3:58 PM

If an Admin has been granted Admin Rights, they can also be allowed to make changes to another staff member's permissions. With this additional setting, they will also be able to make changes to another Admin's permissions. This is useful if they are a Senior Admin with responsibility for managing all staff and admins.

You can only use this setting if "Can Manage Staff Permissions" is switched ON.


Note: As the business owner, you can restrict the levels of Admin access you grant, depending on whether the staff member has a Senior Admin or Junior Admin role.



Understanding Staff Permissions:

Staff Permissions allow you to fully customize the functionality available to particular staff roles within your business. Staff who are assigned work require the staff interface to complete their duties. Senior trusted staff may also require more access to certain scheduling or admin functions, particularly if they look after a team of sitters. In essence, Staff Permissions control which functions you give staff access to; the Interface Permissions control which modules staff can see.
