Custom Permissions:

You can also customise feature access levels for each staff member. Here's how you can set this up:

  • Go to the menu

  • Select 'Staff & Business Settings'

  • Choose 'Staff Access Permissions'

  • Click on the desired staff member's name

  • Check the box next to the feature that you want the staff member to access

Note: To set up custom permissions for a staff member, ensure they're added as a stylist (with or without column) in "staff profiles & logins", have an assigned email and permission level (Manager or Receptionist), and have either remote login or pin code access enabled.

Step by step - Add email access for staff members to login remotely

  • Go to Staff & Business settings and then to 'staff profiles & logins'.

  • Just click on the staff profile on the Staff access list and you will see the toggle below!

    When you want to allow a staff member to log in anywhere - click the toggle to enable this. (It will turn purple!)

You will then see this pop-up like below πŸ‘‡πŸ½

Once you click on β€œenable” the user will be sent an email with a temporary password and a login link.

The email with a temporary password and login link looks like this πŸ‘‡πŸ½. This temporary password can then be used to sign in to www.getslick.com where the staff member will be prompted to add their own password!

The temporary password is 8 characters long - Please make sure you're using all 8 characters and where you can please copy and paste it.

How to Troubleshoot Login Issues for Staff Members on Slick

If a staff member is experiencing login issues on Slick, the following steps will guide you through resolving the problem effectively. This includes scenarios where a temporary password is involved or when the staff member cannot log in despite having a correctly set-up account.

Common Login Issues

Staff members may face login issues due to:

  1. Typing in the incorrect temporary password.

  2. Incorrect email address.

  3. Inbox full or undeliverable email address.

Step-by-Step Troubleshooting Guide

1. Temporary Password Verification

  • Ensure that the staff member has received their temporary password. Allow up to 10 minutes for this to arrive and check junk and spam!

  • Make sure to copy and paste the password with all characters, including - ! * or even a full stop!

2. Verifying Email and Account Details

  • Confirm that the email address on record is correct. If the email is receiving other notifications, such as calendar sync emails, this indicates the email address is valid.

  • If the email has been added incorrectly - please contact Slick customer support to remove the incorrect email and add the correct one.

3. Contacting Support

If none of the above steps resolve the login issue, escalate the matter by reaching out to Slick’s support team through live chat for further investigation and assistance.


Use pin codes for additional security and tracking while using Slick across multiple user profiles.
