# Set Up and Manage Team Access Groups

###### Overview

Team Access Groups in CORE let you customize exactly what your staff — from front desk employees to managers — can see and do in the system. You can create as many access groups as you need, each with tailored permissions for client data, schedules, sales, and more.

This guide walks you through how to create access groups, assign them to team members, and fine-tune permissions.

### Step 3: Customize permissions

Once the group is created, click **Edit** next to it. You’ll see a list of permission categories across the top:

- **Contacts**: Access to clients, groups, leads
- **Schedule**: View, create, or edit sessions
- **Retail**: Access to POS and sales tools
- **Access (for Admin roles only)**: Advanced system settings

To edit each section:

1. Click the **pencil icon ✏️** next to a category
2. Choose whether the group has: 
     - **All Access**
     - Specific limited permissions (toggle ON/OFF per function)
3. Repeat this process for each category

> ✅ Tip: For Employees, keep sensitive options like payment editing turned off. For Admins, review the Access tab carefully to decide what settings they can control.
