Admins & Inherited Access

Admins & Inherited Access

Admin access can be granted on one team, or it can flow down from a level above. This guide explains who can administer what, and why some admins appear without you adding them.

Who can administer

An admin can run a team — build schedules, manage people, change settings. You give someone admin rights by setting their role to admin on a team.

Scope it to where it’s needed

Make someone admin of a single Sub-Group and their powers stay there. Make them admin higher up and their reach grows (see below).

How access flows down

Access flows downhill. If you’re an admin of a Group, you’re automatically an admin of every Sub-Group inside it — no need to be added to each one.

Inherited admins show up automatically

On a team, you’ll see both the admins added directly and the ones who manage a level above. The inherited ones are marked so you can tell them apart.
Set access at the right level
Want someone to manage several teams? Give them admin at the level above all of them, once, instead of adding them to each team.

Dashboards above the team

Being admin of a higher level doesn’t just grant access to the teams below — that level gets a home of its own. From the hub, open a Group, Organization, Institution, or Corporation and you’ll find its own dashboard: the entities inside it, the users across all of them, activity logs, statistics, and billing for that whole branch.

Oversee up high, schedule down low

Day-to-day scheduling always happens inside a Sub-Group. The levels above are for oversight — seeing the whole branch at once and managing who runs what.

Admins & Access FAQ

What does “inherited” access mean?

If you’re an admin of a higher level — say a Group — you automatically have admin rights over the teams inside it. You don’t need to be added to each one separately. That’s inheritance.

Why do I see admins I didn’t add?

Those are inherited admins — people who manage a level above this team. They show up so you know who else has access, even though they were added higher up.

How do I give someone admin of just one team?

Add them to that Sub-Group and set their role to admin. Their access stays scoped to that team only.
