Before you begin
- An admin account with permission to manage users.
- Each colleague’s own email address.

Create an access level
- Step 1. Open Users and find the access-level controls.
- Step 2. Add a descriptive level, such as Cashier, and choose the permissions needed for that work.
- Step 3. Review viewing and management permissions separately. Seeing a page does not automatically allow changes.
- Step 4. Save the level before assigning it to staff.

Invite a colleague
- Step 1. Select Invite user in Users and enter the colleague’s email.
- Step 2. Choose admin or staff. For a staff member, select the access level.
- Step 3. Send the invitation. The colleague completes the Warmkeys sign-in or joining flow with that email.
- Step 4. Review pending invitations and use Resend invite if needed. Confirm access after the person joins.
Review membership requests
Staff can request membership through Warmkeys → Memberships → Join a school. Open the staff requests page from Users, review the identity and requested access, then accept or decline as appropriate. Access for another product is reviewed separately.
Choose permissions deliberately
- Record payments and backdate payments are separate permissions.
- Adjust fees is different from recording money received.
- Bills, reports, Wallet, settings, scholarships and finance each have access controls.
- Removing or changing a staff account should not erase the school’s financial history. Use Logs to review recorded activity.
