First-time setup
A foundational walkthrough for owners, admins, and your team — the order we'd run a new Kanamé account in. 21 steps across 8 sections. Skip what you don't need; come back to anything anytime.
-
01 Sign in & your team
Get into your account, set up your dashboard, and invite the people who will use the platform with you.
- 01 Manage your team — add, edit, remove staff Admin/owner guide to managing team members in a Kanamé sub-account. Covers Settings → My Staff: adding new users, the Admin vs User role distinction, the permission toggles for each platform section, the Only Assigned Data option for limiting visibility, copying permissions from an existing user, editing a team member, and removing a team member. Includes the gotcha that adding a user does not automatically make them bookable on calendars (Services V2 staff assignment is separate).
