Overview
Staff groups allow you to customize which sections of the RunLoyal business portal employees can access and which actions they can take. You can also select certain reports that the staff group should be allowed to view. The default staff groups are Admin and Staff, and these options are not editable. However, you can create additional groups such as Manager that might need access to some admin permissions but not all.
Staff groups can be viewed in the following areas:
- Settings > Business Setup > Staff Group
- Creating or editing a staff user
