Office Users & Permissions

Updated

Office users

An office user is someone who manages scheduling with you on their own Mac, such as a manager or a co-owner. They see the same employees, schedules and time tracking as you, and their changes reach your employees' iPhones.

Employees don't need this. They use the iPhone app, and you invite them from their profile (see Inviting an employee).

Inviting an office user

Office users are invited from the owner's Mac.

  1. Go to Settings → Permissions
  2. Click Invite Office User
  3. Enter the Email Address of their Apple Account. Only that iCloud account can open the link
  4. Choose their Role
  5. Click Create Invite, then Copy Link or Email Invite
  6. They open the link on their Mac to join

How many office users you can have

The count includes the owner's Mac.

Removing access

Right-click an office user and choose Remove Mac Access. Their Mac stops receiving your business's data.

If you're an invited office user and want to leave, go to Settings → Permissions and click Leave Organization…. The business's data is removed from your Mac and Kwilio restarts. Your own data comes back from iCloud.

Roles

Filter the Permissions list by Role or by Mac Access. Right-click someone and choose Edit Permissions… to change their role.
