Who this guide is for

Business Owners. Admin users can also edit users and change roles, but cannot self-escalate their own role.

Overview

How to update a team member’s details or change their role. Includes the Admin self-escalation guardrail, MFA requirement, and how role changes affect historical records.

Before you start

MFA must be set up on your account — role changes are MFA-gated. There is exactly one Business Owner per business — you cannot promote a user to Business Owner.

Steps

  1. In the left sidebar, select Users.
  2. Locate the team member and select Edit next to their row.
  3. Complete the MFA prompt — role changes are MFA-gated.
  4. Update the relevant fields — name, contact email, phone, or Role (Supervisor, Admin, Finance, Tradie, Apprentice).
  5. Select Save.

What happens next

The new permissions take effect immediately. If the user is currently signed in they may need to sign out and back in to refresh their session. Historical records — jobs, quotes, invoices, timesheets — remain attributed to the user under the role they had at the time the record was created.

Invite a team member, Deactivate or Restore a User, Set Up MFA on Your Account.
