Creating Staff Roles

Staff roles, also known as access roles, are essential for managing access control. These roles determine the permissions and capabilities granted to staff members within the system. By assigning appropriate roles to staff, businesses can regulate access to features and functionalities. This article will guide you through the process of creating these roles.

Things to know:

• There are a few predefined staff roles in MyTime:
  • Location Owner - This role is automatically assigned to the account owner when the account is created.
  • Service Provider - This role is for staff members who will be providing services. They can also be assigned to other roles.
  • Support Staff - This role does not take appointments, but you can track their hours and compensation. For instance, Receptionist, etc.
  • Location Manager - This role is for staff members who will be managing the day-to-day operations of the business. 
  • Kiosk - This role is only displayed if your account has Kiosk enabled. This role disables MyTime login and only allows users to log in via the kiosk.
• For users with an enterprise subscription, MyTime offers the flexibility to create custom roles tailored to your business needs. Custom roles alone do not grant the ability to perform services. To enable a staff member with a custom role to perform services, it is necessary to assign the default service provider role in addition to the custom role.
• Staff members must have a user account to be assigned staff roles
• Each role can have its own set of permissions 
• Existing custom roles will show a number in parentheses, representing the number of staff members assigned to that role. 
• If a staff member has multiple roles assigned, the role with the highest permission will take precedence. For example, if Staff A is both a service provider and a location manager, and the service provider role allows editing appointments while the location manager role blocks it, Staff A will still be able to edit appointments because the higher permission overrides the restriction. 

To create a custom role:

1. Navigate to Business Setup > Staff and Availability
2. Click 'Access Control Setting'
3. At the top right-hand corner, click 'Manage Access Roles'
4. The Manage Access Level modal will appear
5. Click '+ Add New Access Role' to create a new role
6. Enter the name of the staff role                                                                                      
7. Save
8. Click the 'Close' button to close the modal

Once created, you can begin configuring this role's access control permissions

The role will be displayed below the Access Level section on each staff member's profile
