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
