- A role is the job a person has in the system — for example Admin, Ops Manager, or Crew Member. The role controls which pages and actions are available to them.
- A branch is a location your company works out of. Assigning someone to a branch decides which work, schedules, and numbers they see.
These settings live in the Admin area. You’ll only see the Settings pages described here if your role can manage your organization and its people — most often an Admin.
Roles at a glance
When you add or edit a person, you pick one or more roles for them. The roles you can choose from are:- Admin — full run of the workspace: settings, branches, pricing, and people.
- Sales Admin — oversees the sales side and the sales team.
- Ops Manager — runs day-to-day operations and scheduling for a branch.
- Crew Leader — leads a crew in the field.
- Crew Member — works on jobs in the field.
- Sales Member — builds estimates and works leads.
- Client Coordinator — handles customer scheduling and communication.
How branches fit in
Most companies run more than one location. A branch keeps each location’s work, schedule, and performance numbers separate, while still living under one organization. Assigning a person to a branch does two things:- It puts their work, schedule, and results in that branch’s view.
- It lets people who oversee a branch see that person’s activity.
Branches also carry their own pricing and cost defaults (labor rates, fees, deposit rules, and more). Setting those up is covered on the Branch Configuration page — this guide focuses on creating branches and assigning people to them.
Assign roles and branches to a person
Roles and branches are set per person on the Users page.1
Open Users
In Settings, open Users under the General group. This lists everyone in your organization, with their Roles and Branches shown as labels on each row.
2
Add or edit the person
To set up someone new, click Add User and fill in their name and email. To change an existing person, open the row’s actions menu (the three-dot button) and choose Edit.
3
Pick their roles
In the Roles field, select one or more roles. Type to search if your list is long. Each role you add appears as a labeled chip you can remove.
4
Pick their branches
In the Branches field, select every branch the person works in. Like roles, you can choose more than one.
5
Save
Click Create (for a new person) or Save Changes (when editing). The Users list updates with the new roles and branches.
Find people by role or branch
The Users page has a search box and filters at the top. Search by name or email, or filter the list down to a specific role or branch to quickly see, for example, everyone in one location or every Crew Leader on the team.Other things you can do to a person
From a user’s actions menu you can also:- Block someone so they can no longer sign in (and Unblock them later to restore access). A person’s Status shows as Active or Blocked in the list.
- Reset Password — sends them a fresh password-reset email.
- Invalidate sessions — signs the person out everywhere, useful if a device is lost.
Blocking removes access without deleting the person, so their history stays intact. It’s the safe way to off-board someone who has left.
Create and manage branches
Branches are managed on the Branch Configuration page.1
Open Branch Configuration
In Settings, open Branch Configuration under the General group. You’ll see every branch in your workspace, with its name, timezone, address, and phone number.
2
Create a branch
Click New Branch. Fill in the Branch Details — at minimum a Branch Name, Branch Address, and Timezone — then add the location’s pricing and cost defaults in the sections below.
3
Save
Click Create Branch. The new branch is now available to assign people to on the Users page.
A simple way to plan it
When you bring someone on, think through it in two quick passes:1
Decide what they do
Pick the role (or roles) that matches their job. When in doubt, start with the narrower role — you can always add another later.
2
Decide where they do it
Assign the branch (or branches) they work in. People who oversee multiple locations get multiple branches; everyone else gets just theirs.
If someone says they can’t see a job, a schedule, or a page they expect, the cause is almost always one of these two settings. Open their profile on the Users page and check that their roles and branches are right.
