There are two ways to create user accounts in your booking system: administrators can manually add users from the backend, or customers can register themselves through your booking page. This guide covers both methods, including the different login options available (email/password, Google, and Line) and how to configure user information and permissions.

How do I add a new user from the admin backend?

Administrators can manually create user accounts for customers, staff, or instructors:

  1. Go to Users in the admin menu
  2. Click the + NEW button
  3. Fill in the required information:
    • First Name (required)
    • Last Name
    • Email Address (required)
    • Phone Number
  4. Click Save to create the account

Important notes about admin-created accounts:

  • Accounts created by admins do not have a password set initially
  • The user must use the "Forgot Password" feature to set their password
  • Alternatively, they can log in using Google or Line if they registered those services with the same email

What additional information can I add to a user profile?

When creating or editing a user, you can add various types of information through the menu tabs:

Basic InformationName, email, and phone number
Extra InformationAdditional custom fields you've configured (birthday, address, emergency contact, etc.)
LocationAssign the user to specific branch locations
Profile PictureUpload a photo for the user
Additional NotesInternal notes about the customer (only visible to staff)
TagsAdd tags to categorize and filter users

Tip: Use tags to organize customers into groups like "VIP", "New Member", or "Corporate" for easier management and targeted communications.

How do I set up roles and permissions for staff accounts?

After creating an account for a staff member or instructor, you need to assign them appropriate roles:

  1. Go to SettingsRole Permissions Management
  2. Find the user and assign them a role:
    • Account Admin: Full access to all features
    • Manager: Access to most features except sensitive settings
    • Instructor: Access to their own classes and schedules
    • Custom roles: Create roles with specific permissions
  3. Save the changes

What each role can do:

  • Admins can manage all users, settings, and financial data
  • Managers can handle day-to-day operations
  • Instructors can view and manage their assigned classes and attendance

For detailed information on configuring roles, see the Role and Permission Management help article.

How do customers register themselves?

Customers can create their own accounts through your booking page:

  1. Customer visits your booking page
  2. They tap on Account in the navigation
  3. They choose a registration method (see below)
  4. They complete the registration form
  5. Their account is created and they can start booking

Available registration methods:

  • Email and password: Traditional registration with email verification
  • Google login: One-click registration using their Google account
  • Line login: Registration using their Line account (popular in Asia)

The available login methods depend on what you've enabled in your settings. Customers will only see the options you've configured.

What login methods can I enable for customers?

You can configure which login methods are available to your customers:

Email and Password

  • Traditional registration requiring email and password
  • Customers receive a verification email
  • They can use "Forgot Password" to reset if needed

Google Login

  • Customers click "Sign in with Google"
  • They authorize using their Google account
  • No password to remember - uses Google's secure authentication
  • Quick and convenient for customers who use Google

Line Login

  • Popular option for businesses in Taiwan, Japan, and Thailand
  • Customers authorize using their Line account
  • Great for businesses whose customers primarily use Line for communication

Tip: Enabling multiple login options gives customers flexibility and can increase registration rates.

How do I view and manage user accounts?

The Users page provides a comprehensive view of all accounts:

Viewing users:

  1. Go to Users in the admin menu
  2. See the summary showing total users and customers
  3. Browse the list showing name, email, phone, active passes, and upcoming classes

Finding specific users:

  • Use the Search box to find by name, email, phone, or custom ID
  • Use OPTIONS to filter and sort the list
  • Click on any user to view their full profile

User list columns:

CustomerName and profile picture
Email addressContact email
PhonePhone number
Active passesNumber of current valid passes
Upcoming classesScheduled reservations

Additional tabs: Shopping cart, Merge Users, Transfer Pass, Rollover Pass, Add Pass, Shared Accounts

What's the difference between admin-created and self-registered accounts?

Both methods create valid user accounts, but there are some differences:

Admin-CreatedSelf-Registered
PasswordNot set - user must resetSet during registration
Email verificationNot requiredRequired (for email method)
Profile infoAdmin enters what they knowCustomer enters their own
Immediate accessUser needs password reset firstCan log in immediately
Best forExisting customers, staff, bulk importsNew customers finding you online

When to use admin creation:

  • Adding existing customers from another system
  • Creating staff and instructor accounts
  • Registering customers who call or visit in person

When to use self-registration:

  • New customers discovering your business online
  • Reducing admin workload for high-volume signups
  • 24/7 registration availability
