Adding & Removing Admin User Access

In 7shifts, the Account Owner is the only user with the authority to add, remove, or change Admin access. All Admin updates must be made by the Account Owner directly within the 7shifts web app. Granting Admin permissions allows users to manage critical functions like billing, team management, and payroll. This ensures only authorized users manage your restaurant operations. 

Add an Admin


Important: Giving a user Admin permissions grants full access to all locations and account settings, including billing and employee data. Ensure this role is only given to trusted team members. Learn more about users types and access in 7shifts here.
