Adding & Removing Admin User Access

In 7shifts, only the Account Owner can add, remove or change Admin access. If your account already has an Account Owner assigned, all Admin updates must be made by them directly in the 7shifts web app. Granting admin permissions in 7shifts allows users to manage critical account functions (like billing, team management, and payroll) and ensures only authorized users manage your restaurant operations.. 

⚠️ No Account Owner assigned? 7shifts Support can assist with Admin changes. See the guidance below based on your current setup.

🔐 We always verify Admin status using key details on file before processing any changes.


Add an Admin

⚠️ 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.
