Important Notes

  • Staff members are created using Invite User.

  • First Name, Last Name, and Email Address are required to send an invitation.

  • Phone and Role are optional during the invitation step.

  • Assigning the correct Role helps control what the staff member can access.

  • Invited staff may show an Invited access status until they accept the invitation.

  • User Availability is different from Account Status.

  • User Availability affects whether the staff member is available for work.

  • Account Status controls whether the user account is active.

  • Adding a new user may affect billing, depending on your plan.

Troubleshooting

If you cannot see Invite User:

  • Check that you are on People & Places > Staff.

If the Continue button is disabled:

  • Make sure First Name is completed.

  • Ask an administrator to review their permissions.

If the staff member does not appear in the Staff list:
