Assigning a team member a role

πŸ’‘ Only Account owners can change the settings of another team member.

You can assign different roles to team members to control the level of access they have to your Bookwhen account. Each role provides specific permissions; you can assign multiple members to each role, and they can be changed at any time.

There are four roles you can assign:

  1. Account owner

    • Full access to all account settings, schedules, and data.

    • Can make changes to account-wide settings, schedules, entries, bookings, customer data, team management, and billing.

  2. Schedule manager

    • Access to entry setup and booking data for specific schedules.

    • Can edit entries and view customer data for bookings within assigned schedules.

    • Cannot modify broader settings like payment providers, reminder emails, or team management.

  3. Bookings admin

    • Access to booking data for specific schedules only.

    • Can view customer data for bookings within assigned schedules but cannot make changes to account settings, team management, or entries.

    • Access to the attendance register for their events only.

    • Can view their profile settings and event-related information, but cannot access or edit other parts of the account.

Account owners can amend team members' roles and access levels at any time.

FAQ

Will resetting the password for a shared account automatically log out any active sessions on other devices, preventing access by a former employee?

  • Yes, resetting the password will log out any active sessions on other devices, but only once the new password has been set using the "Set password" link from the email. However, requesting a password reset alone will not terminate any active sessions in other browsers or devices.

  • To ensure security, especially for shared accounts, we recommend resetting the password and enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA). This will help prevent unauthorized access, even if a previous session was active.

How many team members can I have per paid plan?
