Adding and managing staff

The Staff & Teams list is who may use Vianney at your parish — and it is your whole access boundary. Only people on it can sign in.

Add a staff member

• 1. Go to Settings → Staff & Teams (priest or admin).
• 2. Click to add, and enter their Email, Name, and Role.
• 3. Choose the sign-in type: Google (they sign in with that Google account) or a password account (set one, or send a set-password link).
• 4. Save. They can sign in immediately.

Manage existing staff

• Open a person to change their Name, Role, or clergy position.
• Deactivate someone to remove access while keeping their history — there is no hard delete.

Safeguards

• You cannot demote or deactivate yourself, and the last priest cannot be removed — so no one locks the parish out.
• A deactivated account loses access on its next action.

Tips

• The email is the identity and cannot be changed; remove and re-add if it truly must change.
• Decide what each role can do under Roles and what each can see.
