Change what a role can do

Turn permissions on or off for a role, make your own roles, and delete the ones you made.

Every role is a list of permissions. Change a role and everyone on it changes right away. You need a role that can manage the team.

Change a role

  1. Go to Team, then Roles.
  2. Tap the role.
  3. Turn each permission on or off. They're in groups: Jobs, Customers and sales, Money, Running the business, and Billing and ownership.
  4. Tap Save role.

Some you'll want to decide for each role:

  • See prices on their jobs: the job's price and totals.
  • Change prices on their jobs: prices, services, discounts, fees, taxes and tips.
  • See what supplies cost: unit costs and stock value in Supplies & equipment.
  • See customer contact info: phone numbers, emails and addresses.
  • See revenue: sales and money in Analytics and Finance.

Make your own role

  1. In Team → Roles, tap New role. Or open a role's actions and tap Duplicate to start from it.
  2. Give it a name.
  3. Pick its Level: which roles it sits between. People only manage roles and teammates below their own level.
  4. Turn on what it can do.
  5. Tap Create role.

Delete a role you made

  1. Open the role and tap Delete role.
  2. If people are on it, pick the role they move to.
  3. Tap Delete role again.

Built-in roles can't be deleted.

Didn't work?

The switch is grey

That permission is fixed for this role, or your own role doesn't have it:

  • Only the Owner and Admin roles can have Utopia plan and billing. Admins always keep it, and Manage the team.
  • Only the Owner can delete or hand over the business.
  • You can't give a role something your own role can't do.

I can't open or change a role

You can only change roles below your own level. The Owner role never changes.

Who changed this?

Recent changes at the bottom of Team → Roles shows who changed which role or person, and when.
