How to Change Roles Safely

Recommended for: Owners and admins Time to complete: 5 minutes

Changing a user's role affects what they can see and do. Review the impact before saving any role change.

Before You Change a Role

Ask:

  • does this person need more access, or just different branch assignment?

  • will the change affect billing, staffing, or menu permissions?

  • is Admin enough, or is Owner being used too freely?

Good Role Change Rules

  • use the lowest role that still fits the job

  • avoid unnecessary owner access

  • review branch assignment as well as role

  • make changes outside busy service periods where possible

After You Save

Check:

  • the user can access what they need

  • the user can no longer access what they should not

  • no critical owner-only responsibilities were left without coverage
