Additional Considerations

Visibility on Phoenix

Staff members who are not hidden will appear on the Phoenix -> Community -> Team page, displaying their image, name, title, and staff email. They will be listed in the order shown in Orwell, which can be rearranged as needed.

VA Ownership

The VA Owner cannot be deleted and is the only person with access to the Billing page. VA ownership can be transferred by sending a support ticket to Team vAMSYS.

Staff Permissions

Staff members with the Can Manage Staff permission can edit and assign all permissions, including those they do not possess. Be mindful when assigning this permission to avoid unintended access rights.

vAMSYS Staff

vAMSYS staff members have full access to your VA for support purposes. They cannot be removed but can be hidden or given specific titles and emails.

Restoring Deleted Staff

Deleted staff members can be restored using the restore action.
