Neztio has five staff roles at a center, plus a separate Parent role for families. A role controls which parts of the admin portal a person can open and what they can change.
The Five Staff Roles
Above the center there is also a Super Admin role for organization owners who run more than one center.
- Center Admin: full access to everything at the center, including billing, settings, staff, and credential verification.
- Manager: everything a Center Admin can do except verifying credentials. Managers manage staff, schedules, PTO, payroll export, and reports.
- Lead Staff: classroom operations. Lead Staff clock in and out, see coverage, and see their own data, but do not manage other staff.
- Staff: classroom work. Staff clock in and out, see coverage, and see their own data.
- View Only: can see coverage and their own data, and cannot change anything.
What Each Role Can Do
- Manage staff, edit schedules, approve PTO, export payroll, manage credentials, generate reports: Center Admin and Manager.
- Verify credentials: Center Admin only.
- Clock in and out: Center Admin, Manager, Lead Staff, and Staff.
- View coverage and view own data: every role, including View Only.
You can see this table in the app: go to My Info and open the permissions section.
