Users and roles in SwiftlyBooks
Who works in your books, the role each holds, and what each role may do.
Add someone
- Press Add user, give their name and Email, and choose their Role. The Username follows the email.
- For a role that sees only its own branches, tick the Branches they work in.
- 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
- Open the Roles tab and press a role. Its rights show as a card for each module.
- Tick what it may do, then press Save.
- 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.
