The next step in your account setup will be creating user accounts for your staff. To create a new user, navigate to 'Settings' and then select 'Users'.


​In GorillaDesk there are two user roles:

  • Admin

  • Technician

To change a user's role, you must be logged into the primary user account.

Each user then has their permissions set within that role. The following images serve to show you the current permissions you can control for each user.

By default, the Tech role is limited to only accessing the customers and jobs assigned to them. This role also cannot permanently delete items from your system.
