Float offers different access rights for your team members to ensure everyone has just the access they need. Help your team stay on track by personalizing permissions based on your team’s unique organizational structure and workflows.

Access rights for people on the Schedule can be managed on the People page. Access rights for guests can be managed on the Guests tab in Team settings.

Members have read-only access to view their schedules, everyone's schedules, or one or more departments' schedules.

Members with read-only access can:

Members can also be given individual edit access that lets them:

Manager access rights offer personalized permissions that clarify who manages what within your team. Managers can be assigned to manage people, projects, or both people and projects.

Project Managers can do everything that Members with edit access can. You can assign them to manage as many projects as you need. They also can:

📝Note: Project Managers do not have the power to delete projects unless they are the Project Owner.

💡 Here's a tip: Only Admins and the Account Owner can grant a Project Manager access to view project budgets and people rates.

People Managers are in charge of individual people or entire departments. They can view everyone's schedules if granted access or just the departments they need. They can:

📝Note: People Managers cannot create or edit any projects within Float unless they are given Project Manager access.

Admins oversee all of the people and projects within Float. They also have access to the Team settings, where they can manage the general account settings, team preferences, clients, departments, time off types, and more.

📝Note: Admins do not have access to the billing or integration settings, nor can they close the account.

Guests with Billing access have the same access rights as Admins but with additional access to manage billing and subscription details. The Billing access right can only be assigned to guest users.

The Account Owner has unrestricted access to Float. By default, the Account Owner is the person who created the account. They can transfer account ownership to another team member at any time on the General tab in Team settings.

The Project Owner is the person in charge of an individual project. Anyone with access rights assigned in Float can be set as the Project Owner of a project.

Their avatar is displayed next to the project on the Projects page, and they can filter by My projects on the Schedule to view a list of the tasks assigned to the projects they own. If the Project Owner is ever deleted from Float, the Account Owner takes ownership of their projects.

📝Note: Members assigned as the Project Owner cannot edit any project details.

You can also bulk update access rights as needed. This is helpful for bigger teams where you need to make multiple changes at once. Learn more about bulk updates here.
