Permissions answer one question over and over: should this person see this? Sable answers it with roles, so a stylist sees their column and their clients, and the money stays where it belongs.

​
The roles

Roles live on the Team tab, which is where the sidebar lands you. Your roster lists everyone in the salon with their role, their status, and their commission arrangement, and the pencil at the end of a row opens everything else about that person.

​
Change someone’s role

Roles follow people as they grow, and the roster changes them in place:
  1. On the Team tab, find the person in your roster.
  2. Select the pencil at the end of their row.
  3. Open the role menu and pick the new role. You’ll see exactly the roles you’re able to grant.
  4. Confirm.
The new access takes effect immediately. The same role applies when a teammate unlocks a shared front-desk computer or iPad with Salon Mode. A PIN identifies the person; it does not widen what their role can see or do. Moving someone to Booth Renter is the one change Sable pauses on, because it reshapes their day as well as their permissions. The confirmation tells you what changes for them: their calendar, clients, and messages narrow to their own book, clients can book them online, and they set their own services and prices instead of working from the salon menu. Their working hours are the natural next step, so clients see real openings. Ownership is its own move: transfer it from Settings, not from the roster.

​
Who can be booked

Each person’s editor has a Bookable switch. Turn it on for anyone taking appointments, and off for a teammate who is away, fully booked through another channel, or working the desk that week. Owners, managers, stylists, and booth renters start with it on; front-desk teammates start with it off. Off stops any new appointment being booked for them, online or by your front desk, and leaves everything already on the calendar exactly where it is.

​
Invite your team

Bringing someone in takes under a minute, right from the Team tab:
  1. Select Add team member.
  2. Pick their role. The list shows exactly the roles you’re able to grant, and handing out admin-level access stays with the owner.
  3. Enter their first name, last name, mobile number, and email address.
  4. Select Send invite.
They open the invitation and sign in with an email code or an existing connected account. Sable carries over the information you entered and asks them to verify their mobile number if needed. No password is required. Their assigned role takes effect when they accept, and salons using Salon Mode then prompt them to choose a PIN for shared devices. An existing account keeps its name and verified phone number. If an earlier invitation is missing contact details, the recipient can finish them from the invitation link. An accepted invitation can resume account setup while its link is still valid.

​
Adding a booth renter

Choosing Booth Rent Stylist keeps going, because renting a chair is an arrangement rather than just an access level. You’ll set:
  • Booth Renter Information: their name, phone, and email.
  • Booth Rent: the days they rent the chair, the amount, how often it’s due (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly), and the date their first rent falls due. Bookings only land on the days you pick, on your calendar and on your booking page alike, so the chair stays free the rest of the week. Every later cycle counts from the first due date, so a renter starting mid-month can still be billed on the first.
Everything you set here waits on the invite. The moment they accept, their rent agreement starts, their rented days are in place, and their week is already laid out for them to set their own hours within those days. Rented days stay yours to change afterwards, from Rented days in their editor (the pencil at the end of their row). That’s also where you set them for a renter who joined before you started using this flow, or who you converted from another role. Leaving every day unselected means no day restriction: they can be booked any day their hours allow. Everyone you invite joins the roster right away with an Invited status, so one list tells you who is on the team and who is still on their way. Their row shows how long the invite has left, and any invited row can be cancelled from the roster. Invites stay open for 7 days. Cancel one any time from its row; the old link stops working immediately. To change a renter’s days or rent before they accept, or if an invite expires, cancel it and send a fresh one to the same address.

​
Custom roles

When the built-ins don’t match how your salon divides responsibility (a senior stylist who also manages inventory, a bookkeeper who needs reports and nothing else), custom roles let you shape access to fit. Each custom role appears in the roster like any other.

​
Rules of thumb

  • Give the least that works. It’s easier to grant more later than to claw back access someone’s gotten used to.
  • Booth renters are marked as booth renters. The flag isn’t cosmetic: rent tracking, their own book, client attribution, and their earnings boundaries all hang off it. On a shared client, a booth renter sees only their own appointments, formulas, photos, and intake responses. Allergies remain visible as safety information. The Inbox is stricter: when a booth renter is the client’s preferred stylist and remains active, only that renter can read and reply to the conversation on the salon’s shared number. Owner, admin, employee stylist, Front Desk, custom organization-wide roles, and other renters are excluded. Prior appointments do not widen access, and front-desk delegation is not available right now. Salon staff also cannot remove an active renter’s client assignment to bypass the message boundary. Retiring the renter returns the thread to the salon-owned inbox.
  • The role is the boundary, not trust. Everyone’s trustworthy until the day the phone gets stolen; roles keep a bad day small.
