# How do I give office staff access to my school?

Add an existing FASS account from My Schools → Team and access. Choose booking, lesson-planning, assignment, or profile permissions, or use a saved role; an instructor profile is not required.

## Quick answer

Add an existing FASS account from My Schools → Team and access. Choose booking, lesson-planning, assignment, or profile permissions, or use a saved role; an instructor profile is not required.

## How do I give office staff access to my school?

Secretaries, assistants, and booking coordinators can work with a school using an ordinary FASS account. They do not need an instructor profile or ownership of the listing.

## Add access

1.  Ask your colleague to create their own account and confirm its email address.
2.  As the owner, open **My Schools** and the school's **Team and access** card.
3.  Choose a saved role or **Custom permissions**. Booking access is selected by default; review the available permissions before adding more.
4.  Enter the colleague's account email and choose **Add staff**.

Access starts immediately. This action **does not send an invitation email**, so tell your colleague to sign in and open the school workspace.

## Choose the right permissions

Operational permissions cover bookings, lesson planning, instructor assignment, and profile work. Saved roles let several staff members share the same permission set; changing a role changes access for its members. Custom permissions apply to that individual seat.

Only the school owner and platform administrators manage staff access, payouts, and ownership. An instructor's teaching-roster membership does not grant office permissions automatically. Give a teaching colleague a staff seat as well if they need operational access.

## Change or remove access

Search the card by name, email, or role. Change permissions or remove the staff member there when their responsibilities change. **Transfer ownership** is a separate action for handing the listing to a new owner; do not use it to give an assistant booking access.

A claim submitted as **Manager or office staff** follows a staff-access review rather than transferring ownership. The current owner adding the existing account is the direct route when ownership is already established.
