As the business owner and administrator of your Vagaro account, you can create and set up access level permissions for each of your employee types. These settings can be customized to allow your employees to view and change only the screens, features, and other settings that you want them to. Remember the owner of the account always has full access.
For your convenience, five default access levels were already created for you when you first set up Vagaro. These permission groupings were provided so you can quickly get started with assigning these settings to your employees as needed for your business's various job responsibilities. Feel free to change the names and settings for each access level or create your own to control what your employees can see and do in Vagaro.
-
Admin: A user account intended for administrative purposes to set up and manage Vagaro. This access level should have full or almost all View and Modify permissions to all screens and features. For security purposes, this access level should be limited to a few or highly trusted employees.
-
Manager/Supervisor: A user who other employees report to for decision-making and assignments. A business owner may require a manager or supervisor to be assigned to a user for a business organization and to manage time off for employees.
-
Service Provider Commission: An employee who earns commissions based on how many services they perform or classes they run for customers.
-
Service Provider Self-Employed: A service provider who conducts their own business at a location.
-
Employee: A user who works for the business who isn't a service provider, such as an accountant, receptionist, and other administrative staff. Additional access levels may need to be created to grant or restrict access to different screens, tasks, and features.
Note
There is no access level for the business owner account. This user will always have View and Modify access to all permissions for every screen in Vagaro. We recommend assigning users to the Admin access level to log into Vagaro when everyone's settings need to be changed.
Prerequisites: This feature is available for all Vagaro businesses.

How do i do this as a Booth Renter?
Hi, Pearl. Only the business owner and other users who have permissions to create and change Access Levels can do this. You'll have to speak to one of these people if you'd like to change your settings as a Booth Renter.
