1) Administrator

An Administrator (also referred to as an Operator) is typically the business owner or manager.

What Administrators Can Do

  • Access the entire platform

  • Add or remove:

    • Administrators

    • Service Providers

    • Customers

  • Edit employee profiles

  • Manage subscription settings (owners only)

  • Oversee bookings, payments, reports, and system settings

All administrators have full visibility into your MioCommerce account.

2) Service Provider (requires Grow or ProMax subscription)

A Service Provider is an employee or contractor who performs services for your customers.

What Service Providers Have

Access Permissions

If a Service Provider is not also an Administrator, their access is limited.

They typically see only:

  • Their calendar

  • Their assigned bookings

  • Personal settings

You can give them access to time tracking, view or edit customers, accept tips or ask for payment under Settings β†’ Access Rights

Where to Edit Service Provider Accounts

Go to:

Can an Administrator Also Be a Service Provider?

Yes, an administrator can also be a service provider - The employee roles (administrators and service providers) are not mutually exclusive.

Here are a few examples to explain -
​
​Use Case 1. You are an administrator as well as a service provider

If you are a team of 2 people and both of you manage the business as well as give service to the client. In this case, both of you are an administrator and service provider. Create an Employee Here

Settings when an administrator is also a service provider

Use Case 2. Administrator & Service provider are different

If you have a team of 10 people under you and you are the owner & manager of the business. In this case, your service provider will not have any administrator rights.

Settings when an administrator is not a service provider

3) Customer

A Customer is someone who receives your services.

Important: A booking cannot exist without a Customer account attached to it.

How to Create a Customer

Go to: Customers β†’ Actions Panel β†’ Create Customer
