Users and roles in SwiftlyBooks

Who works in your books, the role each holds, and what each role may do.

Add someone

  1. Press Add user, give their name and Email, and choose their Role. The Username follows the email.
  2. For a role that sees only its own branches, tick the Branches they work in.
  3. Press Create user. They get an email inviting them in.

Change someone

  • The pencil beside a person changes their name, email or role.
  • The shield opens their rights, to give or take away single ones. What differs from their role is marked.
  • The key resets two-step sign-in, for someone who lost their phone.
  • The last button deactivates them: they can't sign in, and their work stays.

Change a role

  1. Open the Roles tab and press a role. Its rights show as a card for each module.
  2. Tick what it may do, then press Save.
  3. For a new role, press New role, or Copy as a new role on one that comes close.

Good to know

  • Seven roles come ready: Administrator, Accountant, Bookkeeper, Sales clerk, Cashier, Purchases clerk and Viewer.
  • Nobody changes the rights of their own role, or gives rights they don't hold.
  • To let your accounting firm in, type Their firm's email under Your accountant and press Invite your accountant.
