Staff Permissions

Control what your staff can see and edit in Volo.

  • Remember, group permissions will always override the individual permissions, so to change for one member, they must be taken out of the Staff Group.

Three Basic Types of Access:

  • Hide: when this is the permission level granted, the staff member will not even see that there is supposed to be something there
  • Read only: in this setting the staff member will see the information in the area but will not be able to edit it.
  • Read/Write: with this permission level the staff member will have full access to view and edit everything in the area that was selected

Set Staff Permissions

  • Click Staff
  • Click Search
  • Select the Permissions link next to the staff member desired

  • Select the area that you want the selected staff member to have access to and what kind of access
  • Click OK

Sidenote: If you don’t enable permissions on the top level navigation to a certain area but enable permissions within that area, the top level navigation permissions will override the permissions within a specific area.

  •  Also you can set permissions per schedule you will need to click OK after you set permissions for each schedule so that it will save the changes

  • Staff schedule permissions can also be changed by creating a group for staff members using the same schedule, and changing the group permissions. To learn how to create a staff group, click here.
