Employee Management Overview

Overview

Sellercloud's Employee Management tools provide an easy-to-use interface to manage and track employee information, access, and attendance. It is a secure way to store employee data, such as contact information, account details, log-in history, and more.

Some of the key tools are Employee Permissions and Roles, time and attendance, and change logs.

Create an Employee

Before you add a new employee, it is important to understand the different Employee Permissions and Roles, as well as the security settings you can choose. Employee permissions in Delta are not transferrable to Alpha unless you are a Client Admin. They are configured differently, so ensure you are familiar with them first.

To add a new employee:

1. Go to Settings > Employees > Manage Employees.

2. Click on the green + icon at the lower-right corner.

3. Populate the fields.

   1. First Name

   2. Last Name

   3. Email — The email the user will use to log into Sellercloud and Sellercloud-related apps like Skustack and Shipbridge. The employee should have a valid email address because there is a 2FA verification.

   4. Password — Sets a first-time password that the user can change once they log in.

   5. Company — Sets the default company for the employee. When the employee creates a product, an order, or a PO, it will be set in the selected company.

   6. Security Template — If applicable, select a template from the drop-down menu.

   7. Send Welcome Email — Sends welcome email to the user.

4. Click Add.

5. An employee is created. You can view and manage your employee from the Employee Details page.

6. To view your Employee Details page, navigate to Settings > Employees > Manage Employees > Search for your employee > Select your employee.
