Inviting Team Members and Managing Access

Invite staff, assign roles and control access to client organisations.

Written by Akbar

The Payroo Agent Portal allows you to invite team members to help manage your client organisations.

You can assign roles and select which organisations each team member can access.
​

1. Understand the available roles

Payroo provides two roles in the Agent Portal.

  • Practice admin
    Practice admins have full access to practice settings, billing, user management and the organisations they can access, including payroll.
    ​

  • Payroll officer
    Payroll officers can run payroll for the organisations they can access. They don't have access to practice settings, billing or user management.

Choose the role that matches the person's responsibilities.
​

2. Invite a team member

Step 1: Open Users & Access

  1. Sign in to the Agent Portal.

  2. Select Users & Access from the left-hand menu.

  3. Select the option to invite a member.

Step 2: Enter their details

Enter the team member's:

  • Email address.

  • First name.

  • Last name.

Check the email address carefully before continuing.
​

Step 3: Choose their role

Select either:

  • Practice admin

  • Payroll officer

Review the role descriptions to make sure you're assigning the correct permissions.
​

Step 4: Assign organisation access

Under Organisation access, search for the organisations the team member needs to access.

Select the relevant organisations.

The portal also provides an option to select every organisation. The screen explains that this includes organisations added later.

Only select every organisation if the team member should have access to your entire client portfolio.
​

Step 5: Send the invitation

  1. Review the team member's details.

  2. Confirm their role and organisation access.

  3. Select Send Invitation.

  4. Ask the team member to check their email and follow the invitation instructions.

3. Manage team member access

To review or update a team member's access:

  1. Open Users & Access.

  2. Find the relevant team member.

  3. Open the available management options.

  4. Review their role and organisation permissions.

  5. Make changes using the available controls, if supported.

Only grant access to the organisations the team member needs for their work.
