How do I control what staff can see and do?
Last updated July 3, 2026
Beyond each person's role, a handful of account-wide switches set the ground rules for your library. They live under Settings → Permissions (admins only).
You can control:
- Who can view the schedule — admins only, staff, or staff and volunteers.
- Who can request time off.
- Whether time-off requests need admin approval.
- Whether shift-swap requests are allowed.
- Whether affected staff are emailed on schedule changes.
- Which day your week starts on.
- Go to Settings → Permissions.
- Flip the switches to match how your library runs.
- Changes take effect right away.
Tip
Smaller libraries often open things up (everyone sees the schedule, swaps allowed); larger systems tend to require approval. There's no wrong answer — adjust as you go.
