Feature of the Month - Permissions

Happy Valentines day everyone! For our feature of the month we are focusing on permissions, a feature beloved by our clients, mainly down to the fact that it is as simple as ticking a box. I don’t know if this applies to all of you, but not all salon owners would be 100% comfortable with leaving their salon for a ‘relaxing’ vacation knowing that their staff have full access to their system. So, by having the permissions feature it just gives owners that peace of mind that staff aren’t accessing anything they shouldn’t be.

Permissions have been around for while now, you’ve probably seen them on tablets or phones with restrictions and parental controls, and it’s a very similar thing that we have designed on our Salon Tracker software. For those of you that are salon owners, you will have access to the administrator user log in, which allows you to access every part of the system. And then it’s up to you what information and features you want to share with your staff. Within permissions you can add different user levels, so if you have apprentices or part-time staff, you might want them to be able to access less than your regular full-time staff. And with permissions we have made it as easy as possible, it’s just a simple tick and untick tool that allows you to specifically decide what your staff can view. By default, there are 3 permission levels set up, administrator, managers and staff, all of which have features pre-ticked from salon research we have done, however these can be edited and changed to your liking. If you have our Siteview or Multisite feature then you can also set your permissions for this. For example, with Siteview, if you only want your staff to be able to access their upcoming bookings and not any reports or charts, then this can also be set.

If you have any further questions about our permissions feature, don’t hesitate to contact one of our team on 0113 350 8230 or email on info@salontracker.co.uk. The permissions feature is available with our professional and enterprise packages. And don't forget, we will be at the Professional Beauty Show in London on the 25th and 26th of February, so make sure you look out for our stand (W16)!
