Users

Then from Admin Users, you can create:

  • a new user, clicking on Add new and entering email, role, personal data and click on Save

  • a user for an existing employee: clicking on Add New, you can choose an employee from the list. The system automatically loads data already in the platform and you only add role. And click on Save

 

In order to enable employees to see for example Applicable shifts and to ask exchange shift, you need to:

  1. Configure a role of Employee with these permissions:

 

  1. Assign the created role to an employee, who has to become a user.
    So you can create a new employee or from users you can assign employee role to an existing employee.

In this way the employee will receive a welcome e-mail to complete the account and to be able to login into the software.

 

Moreover from Spot Permissions tab, you can define permissions of specific user on the different spots.

 

You can choose between Read or Read & Write
In addition you can click on All Read or All Read & Write to assign automatically read/read&write permissions on all spots.
By clicking on Remove All you can delete all the selected permissions.

While on Team permissions, it’s possible to define the user permissions on the different teams (if the user has the relative permissions to view and configure this section)

 

You can choose between Read or Read & Write

Consider that if you leave None as permissions in a team, the relative employees belonging to that team will not be visible to the user
