Workspace Administration

Who this is for

Workspace admins, owners, and managers who maintain the HQ business structure or give office staff access to companies, brands, and shops.

Before you start

  • Confirm the correct workspace is selected in the top-left workspace and brand selector.
  • Decide whether you need to update business structure, invite a workspace member, or assign HQ business access.
  • Prepare the member email address before sending an invitation.
  • Confirm which Company, Brand, or Shop the person should access, and what role they should receive.

Open this page

Open the workspace and brand selector in the upper-left corner, then select Workspace Administration.

What this page controls

Workspace Administration manages the business structure and HQ access rules inside the active workspace.

It controls:

  • Companies
  • Brands
  • Shops
  • Business Access

It does not create cashier logins for the POS terminal. For cashier accounts, use POS Users.

Workspace Administration Business Access

Business Access shows workspace members, pending invitations, and their company, brand, and shop assignments.

Main tabs

Companies

Use Companies to create or maintain the top level of the business structure. A company can contain one or more brands.

Brands

Use Brands to create or maintain brands under a company. A brand is the main scope used by many HQ setup pages, and brand records can include receipt branding details such as the logo used on printed receipts.

Shops

Use Shops to create or maintain shop records under a brand. Shop records are used by store settings, POS setup, reports, and online ordering.

Business Access

Use Business Access to review workspace members, pending invitations, and the HQ business access assigned to each person.

This tab separates two jobs:

  • workspace membership: whether the person belongs to the workspace
  • HQ business access: which company, brand, or shop the person can work with in HQ

Key actions

  1. Select Companies, Brands, or Shops.
  2. Click Add New.
  3. Enter the required Name.

  4. Click Remove on the assignment you want to remove.

If the assignment is marked Inherited, remove the higher-level source assignment instead.

What changes after you save

  • Changes in Companies, Brands, and Shops affect the active workspace business structure.
  • Business Access changes affect what the member can see or administer in HQ.
  • Assignments added to a Pending invitation are applied when the invited person accepts the invitation and signs in.
  • These changes do not create or change POS cashier logins.

How to check your change

  1. Confirm the new or updated company, brand, or shop appears in the correct tab.
  2. Select Business Access.
  3. Confirm the member, pending invitation, or assignment appears in the table.
  4. Check the summary cards for Workspace Members, Pending Invitations, Company Assignments, Brand Assignments, and Shop Assignments.
  5. Ask the member to sign in and confirm they can see the expected brand or shop only.

If something goes wrong

  • If Sign-in required appears, ask the invited person to sign in to HQ once before assigning access to their active account.
  • If No assignable access appears, your account may not have permission to grant access for that company, brand, or shop.
  • If a member can see too much or too little, check whether their access is assigned at Company, Brand, or Shop level.
  • If an assignment is inherited, remove the higher-level assignment that created it.
  • If you need a cashier login for the POS terminal, go to POS Users instead.

When to ask owner/admin

  • You are not sure which workspace, company, brand, or shop should receive the change.
  • You need to grant or remove admin-level access for another manager.
  • You need to delete or deactivate a company, brand, or shop.
  • The access change affects live setup, payments, reports, or customer-facing channels.
