When adjusting Access Levels (permissions for carrying out certain tasks within the system) it is important to keep in mind the various roles you have in the salon (or outside if you have someone who does Marketing or Bookkeeping), and what permissions should be granted for your employees to carry out their daily responsibilities.
You may create additional Access Levels or archive existing levels, but be sure that each Staff Members is assigned an appropriate access level after you have created and assigned permissions.
You can adjust the Access levels by going to Manager and then Access.
At the top of the Access Levels page, you should see a white dropdown box, this will indicate the Access Level of which you are about to make adjustments to. Be sure to click SAVE between each change of this dropdown.
You should see 6 different categories to adjust access levels for: Appointments, Clients, Marketing, Purchase, Manager, PhorestGO (mobile)
