Farmbrite offers the ability to track multiple businesses or locations separately from each other through a multi-farm account. This can help you keep your animals, crops, equipment, tasks, and financial transactions separate, as well as give you the opportunity to ensure you grant access to the right data to the right people. Maybe you have a farmhand who should have access to only one of the accounts to perform their duties, and a manager who oversees the entire multi-location operation who needs access to all of them. You might also have some regional or assistant managers who work with some of the accounts, but not others. You'll have the ability to decide what level of permissions your uses have, and which subaccounts they can access.
Note: Only users with the Admin or Operations Manager Roles in your main account can add new users that have access to multiple subaccounts. Users who are the Admin or Operations Manager level within a single individual account can add users to that specific account as well.
Assigning Subaccount Access to a Multi-Farm User
To choose what subaccounts a user has access to, just navigate to the users section in your main parent account/dashboard and select their user profile. You'll see a tab for Subaccount Access where you can select which accounts this users should be able to access. Check all that apply, and save. If you are creating a new user, you
This accomplishes two things:
- When the user logs in, they'll only see the assigned subaccounts to access.
- The role you assign them in the parent account is also used in each subaccount. So if they are a farmhand like our example Aaron below, they'll have farmhand permissions in the selected accounts.
Assigning a User to a Single Subaccount
If the user you need to create only needs access to a single subaccount, you do not need to grant them access to the parent account/dashboard. You'll simply log in to the subaccount and create them there; they will only have access to the account they were created in. Any Admin or Operations Manager in the subaccount can also create new users for that specific account as well.
In the example below we create a new Warehouse Manager at the Genetics Lab subaccount. Moe will only have access to that account, and can't see anything related to any of the other subaccounts.
