Staff and officials of Organisations which use the SmartSpace system are provided with access to the management of the system through the Staff Manager. Navigate to this area via Control Panel > Staff Manager.
How much is accessed by each individual staff person or official is determined by an access level.
More on how to set up staff can be found here.
