# Add a Team Member (/how-to/team/add-a-team-member)



Add a team member whenever you need to give someone access to the Resytech dashboard -- new hires, managers, seasonal staff, or external partners who need to view or manage bookings.

Before you begin [#before-you-begin]

* You need administrator access to create users.
* If you want to assign a default employee role, [create the role first](/how-to/team/configure-roles-and-permissions).
* Have the person's email address ready. They will use it to sign in.

Steps [#steps]

1. In the sidebar, click **Company**.
2. Scroll to the **Company Users** section.
3. Click the **Add User** button. The user creation modal opens.

Fill in the user details [#fill-in-the-user-details]

| **First Name**            | Yes      | The user's first name. Displayed in timesheets, booking logs, and the team list.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| **Last Name**             | Yes      | The user's last name.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| **Administrator Access**  | No       | Checkbox. When enabled, the user gets full access to all features, settings, and company configuration. When disabled, the user has standard access -- they can view bookings, use the POS, clock in/out, and view their own timesheet, but cannot access admin reports, company settings, or manage other users. See [permission levels](#permission-levels) below. |
| **Default Employee Role** | No       | The role pre-selected when this user clocks in. Only appears if you have created at least one employee role. The user can override this at clock-in time.                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| **Default Location View** | Yes      | The location displayed when the user first logs in. The user can switch locations during their session if they have access to multiple locations.                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| **Allowed Locations**     | No       | Check the locations this user can access. The default location is always included and cannot be unchecked. Users can only view and manage data for their allowed locations.                                                                                                                                                                                          |

4. Click **Create User** to save.

Permission levels [#permission-levels]

Resytech uses a two-tier permission model:

| Level             | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                          | Typical use                                              |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Standard User** | Can view bookings and the calendar, use the POS, clock in and out, and view their own timesheet. Cannot access company settings, admin timesheet reports, or manage other users.                                     | Front-desk staff, guides, instructors, seasonal workers. |
| **Administrator** | Full access to everything a standard user can do, plus: company settings, user management, admin timesheet reports (view/edit/create/delete all time entries), location configuration, and all other settings pages. | Owners, managers, office administrators.                 |
| **Root User**     | The original account owner. Has administrator access and cannot be edited, disabled, or deleted by other users. Displayed with a "Root" badge in the user list.                                                      | Account owner only -- one per company.                   |

What happens next [#what-happens-next]

* The new user appears in the Company Users table with an "Active" status.
* They can sign in immediately using the email and password you set.
* If you assigned a default employee role, it will be pre-selected when they use the clock in widget.

Tips [#tips]

* **Standard users cannot see admin reports.** If someone needs to view timesheet summaries for the whole team but should not have full admin access, they currently need administrator permissions. There is no read-only admin tier.
* **Location access controls data visibility.** A user who is only allowed access to "Downtown" will not see bookings, timesheets, or equipment for "Lakeside." Use this to scope staff to their work location.
* **You can change permissions later.** Edit any user from the Company Users table to toggle administrator access or update their allowed locations. See [Configure Roles and Permissions](/how-to/team/configure-roles-and-permissions).
* **Disabled users cannot sign in.** If someone leaves temporarily, disable their account instead of deleting it. Their timesheet history is preserved.
