Manager permissions

Managers can do everything at the locations they run — but you decide how far that goes.

Owner Where: Settings → Manager permissions 1 min read
This owner-only page lets you switch off anything you'd rather keep to yourself.

What this controls

Nine capabilities — message channels, team, branding, renaming a location, deleting a line, journey mode, TV boards & displays, the activity log, and analytics.

RuleWhat it means
Deleting a line Included — a manager can delete a line at a location they manage. Creating a line, and creating or deleting a whole location, always stays owner-only.
Priority tiers Not one of the nine — that page (now called Queue defaults) is owner-only, full stop, with no switch here to grant it.
How a switch is enforced Checked by the server — a manager who tries a switched-off action is politely refused, not just missing a button.
Owners Never restricted by any of these switches.

On by default

RuleWhat it means
Starting point Every capability starts on — a new manager can do the full job until you decide otherwise.
Turning one off It's removed for all managers, immediately. It's a trust dial — open by default, tighten where you want to.

Every capability

Owner & Manager can change all of these. Every row names the Line settings tab the control is on — open Locations → your line → Line settings and pick that tab. Defaults and ranges are checked against the running product on every build.

Always theirs

  • The routine day-to-day of running a line — hours, thresholds, ratings, board display — is always a manager's to change, and isn't listed here. This page is only for the account-shaping powers you might want to reserve.
  • Some, like editing message wording, are account-wide and stay with owners regardless.
A manager says something's blocked? They'll see "The account owner has turned this off for managers." Flip the matching switch here to give it back — the change applies straight away.
