### 1. Open the Add Account Window

1. Navigate to **Settings → Team & Permissions**.
2. Click **+ Add** in the top-right corner.
3. Open the **Account type** dropdown.
4. Select **Staff login**.

### 2. Enter the Account Details

Complete the following fields:

* **Full Name:** Enter the staff member's name.
* **Email:** Enter the email address they will use to log in.
* **Password:** Enter the initial password for the account.

### 3. Configure Staff Permissions

The Permissions section lets you control access to individual dashboard sections.

Each available permission can be configured using **Read** and **Write** controls.

* **Read:** Allows the staff member to view the relevant section.
* **Write:** Allows the staff member to create, edit, and delete information in the relevant section.

The available sections shown in the form are:

| Section | Read | Write |
| ---- | ---- | ---- |
| Orders | Available | Available |
| Menu | Available | Available |
| Customers | Available | Available |
| Bookings | Available | Available |
| Promotions | Available | Available |
| Drivers | Available | Available |
| Reports | Available | Not available |
| Settings | Available | Available |

| Enable the appropriate permissions for each section based on the staff member's responsibilities.

**Example:** If a staff member only needs to view orders, enable Read for Orders and leave Write disabled.

### 4. Create the Account

1. Review the account details.
2. Check the selected permissions.
3. Confirm that the staff member has only the access they need.
4. Click **Create Member**.

The account will then appear in the Staff list.

## Important Notes

* Staff login accounts provide limited access.
* Multiple Staff login accounts are allowed per restaurant.
* Read access is for viewing information.
