Staff role permissions
Updated this week

Staff role permissions give you the ability to control the level of access your staff members have to the WellnessLiving system. These permissions allow you to limit your staff members’ ability to make modifications to your business configuration or access sensitive information. Limiting staff role permissions also makes WellnessLiving easier to use for staff members, because they will only be able to see the tools and options that are relevant to them.

To modify staff role permissions, see creating or modifying a staff role.

Key tips before you begin

  • Some user interface elements won't appear to staff members who aren't granted the proper permissions. For example, the dashboard requires reporting permissions and won't appear to staff members without them.

  • When you modify staff role permissions, these changes may take up to five minutes to be applied.
