Best Practices

Role Assignment

  1. Minimize Admins - Only 1-2 people need full access
  2. Use Managers for daily ops - Most team members need this level
  3. Viewers for oversight - Finance, compliance, external stakeholders
  4. Review regularly - Remove access when people leave

Security Recommendations

  1. Unique accounts - No shared logins
  2. Strong passwords - Enforce password requirements
  3. Two-factor authentication - Enable 2FA for all Admins
  4. Regular audits - Review team list quarterly
  5. Immediate revocation - Remove access when roles change

Onboarding New Team Members

When adding someone new:

  1. Start with appropriate role (not Admin)
  2. Assign department access if needed
  3. Send training resources:
    • This documentation
    • Internal policies
    • Contact for questions
  4. Review their activity initially
  5. Adjust permissions as needed

Off-boarding Team Members

When someone leaves:

  1. Remove their account immediately
  2. Reassign any pending tasks
  3. Review their recent activity
  4. Update any shared resources
  5. Document the change

Multi-Facility Team Management
