What You Can Do

  1. Firm Owner: Full access to all portal sections, including billing, branding, team management, and all client accounts.
  2. Admin: Similar to Firm Owner but may have restrictions on billing settings (depends on your plan).
  3. Staff: Can access only assigned clients. Cannot manage billing, branding, or team settings.
  4. The role badge is shown next to each staff member's name in the Team & access list.
  5. Role assignments can be changed from the staff member's action menu (⋮) > 'Edit role'.

💡 Good to Know: Review roles periodically — especially when staff responsibilities change.

💡 Good to Know: A new Firm Owner invitation can only be sent by an existing Firm Owner.
