Add people to help you manage Scheduling by inviting them as contributors. You control their ability to access and make changes to Scheduling settings and features. This is helpful if you have staff members who need access to manage or schedule appointments, but don’t want them to make substantial changes or export information from Scheduling.

Access levels

All Squarespace contributors can access the Home menu, where ​​they can navigate to their account dashboard and other parts of Squarespace. Within Scheduling, they have limited permissions, as explained below.

View only

Scheduling contributors with view only access can see upcoming appointments but can’t add new appointments through the Scheduling panel or change Scheduling settings.

They only see information, including clients and appointments, related to the calendars you give them access to. View only contributors can see the following panels:

• Appointment calendar - They can see appointments booked on calendars you give them access to. They can click appointments to view appointment details, but can't edit or reschedule appointments. They can view appointment labels, but can’t add or edit them.
• Clients - They can view the client list, but only see clients with at least one appointment on a calendar you’ve given them access to. They can ​​click client names to see appointment history and other information, but ​​can’t edit client information. If you’ve given them permission to export appointments and clients, they can export the clients they can see, but not your other clients. They can't import clients.
• Reports - Only visible if you’ve given them permission to export appointments and clients. If it’s visible, they can export appointments from calendars they can access, but can’t import appointments or view any other reports.
• Scheduling page link - They can use this section to get direct links to your scheduler and code to embed your scheduler in a website. They won’t see links or embedding information for calendars they can’t access or appointment types only offered on calendars they can’t access, and they can’t customize any of the URLs.

View & edit

As with view only contributors, contributors with view & edit access can only see information connected to the calendars you give them access to. They don’t see clients and appointments from calendars they can’t access. They can see these panels:

• Appointment calendar - They can do everything a view only contributor can, plus they can edit, reschedule, and cancel appointments. They can add labels to or remove them from appointments, but they can't create labels or delete them from the system.
• Clients - They can do everything a view only contributor can, plus they can edit client information and ban clients. They can reschedule and cancel appointments from this view. If you’ve given them permission to export appointments and clients, they can both import and export clients.
• Reports - Just as for view only contributors, this is only visible if you’ve given them permission to export appointments and clients. If it’s visible, they can export appointments, but can’t import appointments or view any other reports.
• Scheduling page link - They can do everything a contributor with view only access can do, accessing direct links and embedding information for your scheduler. As with view only contributors, they won’t see information for calendars they can’t access or appointment types only offered on calendars they can’t access.
• Availability - They can edit the hours that the calendar is available for appointments. They can also change scheduling limits and calendar settings, including changing which email addresses Scheduling notifies when clients book appointments.
• Integrations - ​​ They can connect to a limited suite of apps, including video conferencing and API connections.
• Sync with other calendars - They can connect Scheduling calendars to a third party calendar. They only see the option to connect the Scheduling calendars you’ve given them access to.

Administrator

Users with administrator access can do almost everything the Scheduling owner can do, including import and export clients and appointments. They have the following limitations:

• They can’t add or remove contributors, or change their access levels.
• They can’t change the Scheduling owner.
• They can’t change Scheduling plans or cancel Scheduling.

To add a new user to your Acuity account:

After you’ve added users, they can manage their password and username.

Acuity access levels

Users with view only and view & edit access have the same access as Scheduling contributors at those levels.

Acuity users with admin access can do everything the account owner can do, except:

• Delete the main account.
• Edit or delete their user account.
• Change the username or password for the main account.
