We know that security is a top priority for your business, so we've added new security alerts to notify owners and management when a staff member is granted administrator access to your ROLLER account.

As soon as a new staff member is given administrator access, ROLLER will send an email alert to your Technical Contact(s) which includes all of the key information, such as who the new staff member is and which staff member granted the access. This keeps you informed of who has access and allows you to quickly take action and revoke access if required.

In order to receive these security alerts, you first need to ensure you have a Technical Contact set up for your venue. Visit our Help Center to learn how to set up your venue contacts.

With HQ-managed roles, you can improve security and efficiency by centralizing user roles and permissions in HQ, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

As a top priority for businesses, security can be a challenging task, and this is especially true when managing multiple venues. HQ-managed roles provide greater visibility of staff permissions across all managed venues, making it easier to control & monitor staff access. Additionally, HQ-managed roles allow you to instantly update staff permissions across all managed venues in one go, ensuring that staff permissions are always up-to-date.

HQ-managed roles are available now for anyone subscribed to a HQ Pro plan.

Learn more about how you can take advantage of HQ-managed roles.
