Global Access Controls

Modified on Fri, 19 Sep at 12:07 PM

MyTime offers advanced access control settings, allowing you to manage what your staff members and franchisee locations can view and access through their individual accounts. This article explains how to configure access permissions at the parent level for parent-level staff members and child account owners. 


Things to know:

  • Only the parent account owner can manage access permissions at the parent level
  • The first step in managing your parent staff members' account access is to assign them to the appropriate roles. Once categorized, you can customize access for each role using the Access Control Settings. Each role comes with its own set of permissions. Learn more about roles here.
  • Staff members should refresh whenever new permissions are assigned.
  • Access permissions for franchisees (location owners) are determined at the franchisor (parent) level and cannot be overridden to grant higher permissions by the franchisee. For example, if the franchisor sets access for franchise owners to view inventory but not edit it, the franchise owner will only have view access. They can only set permissions for their staff members to either view or block access to inventory. Any child account with access control set to 'edit' will automatically be updated to 'view' to align with the parent-level permissions.
  • Access controls established by the parent company apply to all child company location owners

Parent-Level Access Control Effects on Franchisee Level


There are access controls that determine whether information is shared across all franchise locations, as well as those that only impact changes within individual child accounts. The table below outlines and explains the access controls that govern data sharing between franchise locations.


Access ControlEffects at the Franchisee Level
Accessing Client Records

Accessing Client Record - View Their Locations


Franchisee locations can access client records associated with their own location through the Clients tab. They can also see clients from other franchise locations only if the client has never had an appointment at those other locations. Clients from other franchise locations who have had appointments at those locations will not be visible in the Clients tab.

Example:

  • Client A was created at Franchise B but has never booked an appointment there. Staff at Franchise A can view Client A in the Clients tab.
  • Client B was created at Franchise B and has booked appointments there. Staff at Franchise A cannot view Client B in the Clients tab.

Regardless of location, all clients will appear in the search on the appointment modal in both the Scheduler and POS, allowing staff to select them when booking services.


Accessing Client Record - View All Locations


Franchise locations can access client records across all franchise locations directly from the Clients tab, whether they have appointments booked or not. 

Example:

  • Client A was created at Franchise B and has had appointments there. Staff at Franchise A can still view Client A in the Clients tab.

  • Client B was created at Franchise C but never booked there. Staff at Franchise A can view Client B in the Clients tab.

All clients are searchable in the appointment modal in both the Scheduler and POS, allowing staff to book services for any client across locations.


Accessing Client Record - Edit Their Locations


Franchise locations can access and update client records associated with their own franchise location directly from the Clients tab. They will also see clients from other locations only if the client has never had an appointment at those other locations but they will not be editable. 

Example:

  • Client A was created at Franchise A and has booked appointments there. Staff at Franchise A can view and edit Client A’s details.
  • Client B was created at Franchise B and has appointments there. Staff at Franchise A can see Client B in the client tab and appointment modal, but cannot edit their details.


Accessing Client Record - Edit All Locations


Franchise locations can view and update client records across all franchise locations regardless of where the client record was created or where appointments occurred.

Example:

  • Client A was created at Franchise B and has booked appointments there. Staff at Franchise A can view and edit Client A’s details.
  • Client B was created at Franchise C but never booked there. Staff at Franchise A can view and edit Client B’s details.

Additionally, all clients are searchable in the appointment modal in the Scheduler and POS, ensuring staff can select them when booking services.
