Staff and User Settings - Setup Tutorials
Overview
You can add Staff under My Organisation and customise their access to reports and transactions by changing their settings.
The term 'Staff' within My Organisation includes employees, users and reps.
The following rules apply:
- Each staff member is assigned a position within the organisation which can be defined within an organigram.
- Work Shifts for staff members can be defined in Office > My Organisation > Work Shifts.
- Each staff member's settings define their access to specific modules. User settings are unique for each module and are defined in Office > My Organisation > Staff > Settings.
- Permission to perform Batch Updates within specific modules must be granted in My Organisation > Staff > Settings > General > Batch Updates - Access Allowed.
💡These tutorials explain how to add Staff and change their access.

- Right-click the name of the applicable Staff Member and select Edit.
- Click Settings (tab).

Editing the Organigram
How to Add a Staff Member to the Organigram
- Navigate to Main Menu > Office > My Organisation > Organigram (tab).
- Click Menu (button) > Tree View (it is open by default).
- Add a Manager:
- Right-click the applicable Department and select Manager.
- Add a Staff Member:
- Right-click the applicable Manager and select Staff.
- On the list of Available staff members, click the person you want to add and click the arrow in the middle to move the name to the Selected section.
- Click OK (button).
How to Change a Staff Member to a Manager
Although you can right-click and edit the record to change a person's Type (e.g. Head, Staff, Manager), you cannot move the person higher up in the hierarchy.
If you delete the user, you can add them back in a higher hierarchy. Deleting the user only removes them from the organigram.
Manager is used as an example, but the same procedure applies when promoting or demoting users.
- Navigate to Main Menu > Office > My Organisation > Organigram (tab).
- Click Menu (button) > Tree View (it is open by default).
- Right-click the applicable name and select Delete.
- Right-click the applicable Department and select Manager.
- On the list of Available staff members, click the person you want to add and click the arrow in the middle.
- Click OK (button).
