How to Set Up Team Permissions

When editing team permissions, you can customize your available access levels (Manager & GM) if you need to. Then, you can assign each Manager with a specific access level depending on what they need to do in Homebase. 

To edit Team Permissions:

  1. Select Settings in the left menu
  2. Select Team Permissions under Team Management
  3. Check or uncheck the boxes based on what permissions you would like your manager or general manager to have.
  4. Save changes in the top right
    • If you have multiple locations, you can apply these settings to all your locations as well.
