Roles & Permissions: Right access, right people.

Decide exactly what each person on your team sees and does. Front desk sees bookings, only owners see the numbers, and a leaver loses access the moment they go.

At a glance

Idle gives you granular role-based access control. Decide exactly what each staff member sees and does, set different roles per store, and issue secure email logins you can revoke instantly. The right people get the right access, sensitive numbers stay owner-only, and you can even put staff on the rota with no login at all for the shared store device.

The right access for the right people.

Your front desk sees bookings, while only owners see the numbers. Restrict a stylist to only their own timesheet and commission, never customer data or growth figures. Every role is shaped to the job, so each person opens exactly what they need and nothing they shouldn't.

Front desk sees bookings

The people running the day get the calendar and checkout, without the revenue dashboards.

Only owners see the numbers

Revenue, growth figures and customer data stay owner-only, locked away from staff roles.

A multi-store salon manager reviewing schedules across locations

Per-store roles and secure logins.

Each staff member signs in with their own secure email login, and the same person can hold a different role at each store, a manager at one, a stylist at another. When someone leaves, revoke their access instantly and archive them without losing their financial history.

A different role per store

One staff record, location-specific access, so the same person can manage one shop and only work in another.

Secure email logins

Every team member signs in with their own email credentials. No shared passwords, no guessing who did what.

Revoke and archive leavers

End access in one tap and archive the person, while their commission and schedule history stays on record.

Everyone can see everything, and you can't lock it down.

All-or-nothing access

Every staff member can see everything, including your revenue and customer list, because there is no way to lock it down.

A leaver still has a login

Someone walks out the door but their account stays live, still able to open the calendar and your data weeks later.

One login for the whole shop

The team shares a single account on the front-counter device, so everyone can reach your revenue and customer list and you cannot give people only what they need.

A salon team working from a shared device at the front counter

Put staff on the rota without a single login.

Not everyone needs an account. Schedule team members onto shifts and appointments without issuing a login at all, so they appear on the rota and the calendar without ever signing in. It is built for the shared device on the front counter, where one screen runs the day and you decide who gets their own access.

Staff with no login

Schedule team members onto shifts and appointments without issuing an account, ideal for the shared device.

One shared front-counter device

The whole team works off a single screen for the day, while your revenue and customer data stay behind owner-only logins.

Accounts only where you want them

Give secure logins to the people who need their own access, and leave everyone else login-free. You decide, per person.

Permissions & security FAQ

Can I limit what each staff member sees in Idle?

Yes. Idle gives you granular role-based access control. Your front desk can see bookings while only owners see the numbers, and you can restrict a stylist to only their own timesheet and commission, never customer data or growth figures.

Do roles differ per store?

Yes. One staff record can hold a different role at each store. Someone can be a manager at one location and a stylist at another, with access following the store, not the person.

Can I schedule staff without giving them a login?

Yes. You can put team members on the rota and assign them to services without issuing an account at all, which is ideal for a shared front-counter device. The people who need their own access sign in with secure email logins you can revoke any time.

Can I revoke access the moment someone leaves?

Yes. Revoke a login instantly and archive the leaver in one step. Their financial and schedule history stays intact for your records, while their access ends immediately.

Ready to give the right people the right access?

We will scope your roles, set up secure logins for your team, and put everyone else on the rota without an account. Free onboarding, no setup fee.
