When adding a staff member to your team, it's important to know there are two options when assigning user permissions.
Full permission user- Access will be granted to all doors and devices in your community, and the staff member will also have access to both the Web Manager as well as the Mobile Manager. This is recommended for property managers, staff, and maintenance team members that will need the ability to assign key fobs and assign access.
Mobile access only- Access will be granted to all doors and devices in your community, and the staff member will only have access to the Mobile Manager. This will help if you do not wish to provide universal access to a staff member in your community. Please check out our article on How to Change a User's Access in Homebase Manager.
How to Create a Staff Member in Homebase Manager
Click the New icon at the top of the left main menu, then select Add staff member.
Alternatively, you can also do this in the Staff tab, and select Add staff member at the top right.
Input email address, name, and phone number to save them into the Homebase system.
Note: If the email address has already been used, it will not be able to be added again.
3. Select whether the team member should have full access to the Homebase Web Manager & app, or Mobile access only.
4. Select communities and configure access: Select add for each community you’d like your staff member to gain access to. Once you choose your first community, they will be officially added to the Homebase system.
5. After you’ve added them to a community, this will open an option for access configuration for this staff member.
Each staff member will start with all access off. Use the quick select toggles at the top to mass select full access, all units, all restricted spaces, or all unrestricted spaces.
You can always configure rooms one at a time using the individual list below the quick select toggles.
6. Configure Notifications: After you’ve added communities and configured access, you have the opportunity to configure notifications for alerts and activities.
