❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about managing users and permissions.

Can I change someone's role without notifying them?

Click the arrow to view the answer

Yes. When you edit a user's role, the changes take effect the next time they log in. The user will not automatically be notified of role changes, so you may want to let them know directly if the change significantly affects their access or responsibilities.

What emails can I control with the email communication setting?

Click the arrow to view the answer

The email communication toggle controls whether a user receives emails generated from your Sawyer account, such as order confirmations and class messages. For a detailed list of email types, see types of customer emails generated from Sawyer here.

Can I delete a user and then re-invite them later?

Click the arrow to view the answer

Yes. If a user is deleted, they can be re-invited to the account at any time using their email address. When re-invited, they will receive a new invitation link and will need to set up their account again.

What happens to a deleted user's data or activity history?

Click the arrow to view the answer

Deleting a user only removes their login access to your Sawyer portal. It does not delete any data or activity records associated with their account. Those records remain in your system for historical purposes.
