Staff and roles

Who sees what in the Operator App: owners, receptionists and stylists, and how to give each person a login.

LogicWeft Salon has three kinds of user. Each one signs in to the Operator App with their own WordPress login and sees only the screens their role allows.

Everyone also has an Account screen with who is signed in, their role, the screens they can open and Log out.

Owners

Anyone who already runs the shop, as a WordPress Administrator or a WooCommerce Shop manager, is an owner in the Operator App. There is no separate owner role to set up. Owners also manage LogicWeft Salon's settings, services and staff in the WordPress admin.

Receptionists

The Receptionist role is added to WordPress when you activate LogicWeft Salon. To make someone a receptionist:

1. Go to Users → Add New User (or open an existing user).
2. Set Role to Receptionist.
3. Save, and send them their login details.

Receptionists can't open the WordPress admin's LogicWeft Salon screens; they work in the Operator App.

Stylists

A stylist can be on the staff without a login: they are booked and shown like anyone else, but can't open the Operator App. LogicWeft Salon never creates WordPress users, so to give a stylist a login:

1. Go to Users → Add New User and create their user (or use one they already have). WordPress can email them a link to set their password.
2. Go to LogicWeft Salon → Staff, open the stylist and choose that user under Operator App login.
3. Save. The user gets the Salon staff role.

The demo salon's stylists have no logins.

A stylist sees their own day in My day and nothing else: not other stylists' days, not sales, not settings.

Opening the app

Everyone opens the app at your site's address followed by /salon-app/ (you can change it under LogicWeft Salon → Settings → Operator App → App address). See The Operator App.
