User Groups & Permissions
A well-structured booking system should be flexible, yet certain functionalities and views should be restricted to specific users for better control and security. YGB offers a powerful venue permission system that allows fine-grained control over what users can see and do.
Managing Permissions at the Organization Level
To access organization-level settings:
- Click the gray area in the top-right corner, where your Venue and Organization name are displayed.
- This will take you to the Org Level, where you can find "Users & Permissions".
- Here, you can set up permissions and create new user groups.
Creating & Managing User Groups
- Super Users:
- Only Venue Owners should be assigned as Super Users, as they have full system access.
- To create a new user group, click "Add Item +" and choose whether the group applies to:
- A single venue
- All venues
- The entire organization
Once selected, the settings window expands, allowing you to add users to the permission group and assign specific permissions by simply clicking on them.
Note: The previous permission system is still available under "Settings" > "Users". It includes predefined roles such as Owners, Finance, and Customer Service.
Adding a User to a Permission Group
- Click the "Settings" Cog icon in the Sidebar on the right.
- Under "Available Settings", select "Users".
- Locate the relevant permission group and find the "Add user by email address" field.
- Enter the user’s email address, then select it from the dropdown.
- The user will now be added to the group.
The user must have already created an account before their email can be added to a permission group.
