Levels of Hierarchy - User Types

When setting up a new user within your 7shifts account, there are several levels of access that they can be granted based on their user type. 

There are 4 possible levels of user hierarchy in 7shifts:

1. Administrator

2. Manager

3. Assistant Manager

4. Employee

Administrator

• The Admin is the person who creates the 7shifts account.
• The Admin user type is the 'superuser' and has access to edit and view everything within the 7shifts account, including the Company Settings. 
• The Admin may add and delete Locations, change billing information, and upgrade plan types.
• Admins can add / edit all Managers, Assistant Managers, and Employees.
• Admins can update the Manager permissions for all Managers and Assistant Managers.
• The Admin user type can only be set or updated by 7shifts Support and must be requested by another Admin user. You can get in touch with our Support team by clicking on the blue icon located at the bottom right corner of your screen.

Manager

• Managers will be restricted to the Locations and Departments they're assigned to within their employee profile.
