ADMIN: Access Levels vs Access Groups

πŸ” Access Levels vs. Access Groups

Access Levels and Access Groups work together to control what your team can see and do when they log into the system.

🚦 Access Levels (The Broad Categories)

Access Levels are the main "roles" in your company. These are preset and cannot be created or deleted.

  • ❌ None: Disables the user’s ability to log in. Use this for inactive members.

  • πŸ‘‘ Admin: Provides full access to everything in the system. Best for owners and top management.

  • 🏒 Staff: Provides back-office access to help run the brokerage. Best for employees who assist management but aren't owners.

  • 🏠 User: Provides access only to the user's own listings, documents, and transactions. This is the standard setting for Real Estate Agents.


πŸ‘₯ Access Groups (The Specific Permissions)

While Access Levels are broad, Access Groups allow you to narrow down permissions even further.

  • Customization: You can edit the default groups or create brand-new ones to fit your specific needs. (see link down below) πŸ› οΈ

  • Refinement: If you want a "Staff" member to see listings but not company settings, you would create a specific Access Group for them.

  • Setup Tip: For most people, the Access Level and Access Group will be the same (for example: Level: User / Group: User). 🧩


βš™οΈ How to Manage Access Groups

If you need to create a specialized role or narrow down what a group can see:

  1. Click the Settings Icon βš™οΈ in the top right menu.

  2. Select Access Groups under the Company section.

  3. From here, you can Edit existing defaults or click Create New to build a custom permission set.


πŸ’‘ Pro Tip: Always start with the "User" level for agents. This keeps their data private and ensures they only see the tools they need for their own transactions! πŸ›‘οΈ
