FOX TIP: Looking to make a quick edit to personnel details? Many of the tables within FunctionFox use in-line editing. Hover over the personnel table to see which fields can be updated in-line.

Deleting Personnel

When a user no longer requires access to your account, we recommend that you archive that user. This can be done be going to Tips/Links > Archive Personnel and checking the box beside the user in the archive table. This allows you to retain all their historical data while removing their login access.

Access Levels

Access levels allow control of the features and pages that users can access. Choose from one of the four default levels or customize your own:
