How to Set Team Permission for a Staff Member
This article explains how you can enable or disable Team permissions for an individual staff member in your Pabau account.
Step 1: Navigate to Team
Start by logging into your Pabau account using your login credentials. Then, navigate to the "Team" tab located on the left sidebar menu. Click to expand it and click the "Team" sub-tab.

Step 2: Access Staff Member Profile
On this page, you will see all your active staff members listed under the "People" tab. To access a staff member's profile, click on their name or profile picture.

Step 3: Open Permissions
On the staff member's profile, click on "Permissions" in the left-hand menu. This opens a view showing exactly what that individual staff member is allowed to do in Pabau, along with a summary of how many permissions are currently allowed and how many are marked as "sensitive."

Sensitive permissions are ones flagged as having a bigger potential impact if misused or toggled on carelessly
Step 4: Locate the Team Category
On the left side of the Permissions page, click on "Team" to jump straight to that category. It shows how many of its permissions are currently on (e.g. "11/11").

Step 5: Enable or Disable Team Permissions
The Team category includes the following individual permissions:
- Can access teammates page – Will be able to access the Team page and view all staff members.
- Can access scheduler page – Will be able to access the Scheduler.
- Can manage group permissions – Will be able to adjust group permissions.
- Can invite staff members – Will be able to invite staff members to the Pabau account.
- Can adjust staff members details – Will be able to modify another staff member's details.
- Can remove staff members – Will be able to remove other staff members. (Sensitive)
- Can manage user permissions – Will be able to modify other users' system permissions. (Sensitive)
- Can create shifts – Will be able to create shifts for staff members in the Scheduler.
- Can edit shifts – Will be able to adjust shifts for staff members in the Scheduler.
- Can remove shifts – Will be able to remove shifts for staff members in the Scheduler. (Sensitive)
- Can access the commissions page – Will be able to access the commissions page and view commission groups.
Each permission has its own "Allowed" toggle, which you can switch on or off independently. Alternatively, use the quick actions next to the category header to apply a change to every permission in this category at once:
- Allow basics – Applies a recommended baseline set of permissions for this category.
- All on – Enables every permission in this category.
- All off – Disables every permission in this category.
A few things to be aware of:
- These permissions apply only to this individual staff member, not their role — changing them here won't affect anyone else, even if they share the same role.
- If you'd rather apply a consistent set of permissions across multiple staff members at once, it's easier to set them at the role level instead.
Step 6: Save Your Changes
Once you're happy with your changes, click "Save changes" in the top right corner of the screen.
By following these steps, you can control exactly what team-level access an individual staff member has in Pabau.
