### Managing Staff Accounts in Tablein

As the **account owner**, only you can set up and manage system settings and access the customer database. However, to allow your staff to manage reservations, you’ll need to create staff accounts.

#### Types of Staff Accounts

- **Manager** – Full access to all settings except the owner account.
- **Staff** – Can access the calendar, floor plan, and reservation list. Additional permissions can be enabled as needed.
- **Read-Only** – Can view reservations but cannot edit, move, or save them.

#### How to Create a New User

1. Log in to [admin.tablein.com](https://admin.tablein.com/) and navigate to [Users](https://admin.tablein.com/settings/account-setup/users).
2. Click **Add New User** in the top-right corner.
3. Enter the **email address** (used for login).
4. Set the **status** to *Active*.
5. Choose the **language** for the user interface.
6. Set a **password**.
   
     - To update later, open the user’s profile and change it.
     - If the account is shared, we highly recommend changing the password when staff members leave.
7. **Assign users to the account**:
   
     - If no names appear in the dropdown, click **Add**, enter a name, save, and close.
     - Reopen the dropdown and **select the names of staff** who will use this account.
     - To add more names, remove or edit existing names (e.g., fix spelling errors) under [User Name Settings](https://admin.tablein.com/settings/account-setup/waiters).
8. Select a **role** (*Manager, Staff, or Read-Only*).
   
     - Managers have all permissions enabled by default.
     - Staff roles can be customized with specific settings.

For assistance, contact **Tablein Support** at support@tablein.com.

#### Important Notes

- When a user logs into their account and adds a reservation, they can select their name from the dropdown.
- Other staff members, even if logged into the same shared account, will be able to see who created the reservation.
