Managing Access Controls

Modified on Thu, 16 Jan at 8:37 AM

MyTime provides advanced access control settings that enable you to control what your staff members can and cannot see and access through their individual MyTime accounts. For example, you might want stylists to view only their schedules and profile. 

The first step in managing your staff members' account access is to categorize them into their proper roles. Once staff members have been correctly categorized, you can edit the access for each role using the Access Control Settings. This is found at the bottom of your Staff & Availability section.


Things to know:

  • Each role has its own set of permissions. Learn more about roles here
  • Only location owners can set or block access permissions
  • Staff members should refresh whenever new permissions are assigned
  • If your business is part of a franchise, the access permission for the franchisee (location owner) is set at the franchisor (parent) level. The location owner will then be able to set permissions for each staff member at their location however, they will not be able to override the permission set at the parent level to higher permission.  For example, the franchisor (parent account) has set access for franchise owners (child accounts) to view inventory but not edit. This means, the franchise owner will only be able to view inventory, and can only set permission for their staff members to view or block them from accessing inventory.  Any child account with access control set to edit will get updated to view.
  • Access controls set by the parent company apply to all child company location owners.
  • To receive daily reports via email, ensure that the checkbox for "Receive Daily Report Email" is checked under My Account > Communications Preferences. Additionally, the "Can Receive Daily Report by Email" access control must be set to "View Daily Report".

  • If the Can Receive Daily Report by Email access control is set to "Blocked", the checkbox for "Receive Daily Report Email" will be grayed out. In this case, a tooltip will display the message: "You don't have access permission to receive this email. Please speak to the account owner."


To give your staff permission to use various features of the software: 


  1. Navigate to Business Setup > Staff & Availability  
  2. Click the Access Control Settings button at the bottom of the page unnamed__1_.png
  3. Select a role from the drop-down menu on the top right   unnamed__2_.png 
  4. On the left panel, select a permission category to view and enable specific permissions.

  • Own Location
  • Their Location
  • All Locations
