User Type Access Levels in 7shifts

Updated June 03, 2026 15:33

7shifts Accounts have 4 main user-level types: Admin, Manager, Assistant Manager, and Employee (unless the Account has enabled Permission Templates).

This article focuses on the general account access for each user level type, which differs from the specific permissions for actions within 7shifts.

Each user level has unique permissions that determine their access to features within the Account. For example, while all Managers can access the Manager Log Book, only those with specific permissions enabled can delete log book entries.

To review the detailed permissions a Manager can have, please refer to: Manager Permissions..
To go over your own set of permissions and user-level type, refer to: How to View Your User Type and Permissions in 7shifts.
