Once they accept:

Default Role

All newly invited team members are automatically assigned the Technician Role. You can change their permissions later from the Dashboard settings.

Common Questions​

Can I skip inviting team members during onboarding?​

Yes! This step is optional. You can complete onboarding and invite team members later when you're ready.

How many team members can I invite?​

There's no limit. Invite as many team members as you need for your operations.

What if someone accepts the invitation but I want to remove them?​

You can remove or deactivate team members from Settings > Team Members at any time.

Can team members invite other team members?​

Only users with Admin or Manager roles (depending on your permission settings) can invite new team members.

Do team members need separate email addresses?​

Yes, each team member must have their own unique email address for their account.

What if a team member doesn't have an email address?​

Every user needs an email for account creation and login. Consider creating a work email for them, or they can use a personal email address.

Can I resend an invitation?​

Yes, if a team member didn't receive the invitation or if it expired, you can resend it from the Invitations list.

Will team members have access to all customer information?​

Access depends on their role and permissions. Technicians typically only see jobs assigned to them, while Admins can see all information.

Is there a cost per team member?​

Pricing depends on your JobRoutr plan. Check your subscription details or contact sales for information about team member pricing.

Can team members access JobRoutr from their personal devices?​

Yes, team members can use both the web dashboard and mobile app from their own devices. This is common for field technicians using personal smartphones.
