Adding someone

Staff → Add Staff: name, email, role. They are emailed a link to choose a password (valid for 7 days). Until they do, their row shows Setup pending. Open the row and click Resend setup email if they lost it; after 7 days they can also use Forgot password on the sign-in page with the same email.

Changing a role

Open the row and change the role. A teacher who becomes office staff keeps their class assignments but no longer appears as a lead teacher for new conferences, so reassign their classes first. You cannot change your own role.

Removing someone

A staff member assigned to a class cannot be deleted; remove them from the class first (Classes). Deleting a teacher does not delete past bookings.

Passwords

Staff change their own password under Settings (the menu on their name in the sidebar). Email addresses are the sign-in identity and are changed by an admin from the Staff page.
