Staff accounts are created by invitation. There is no public route to one.
Being invited
An admin adds your email at /admin/users and picks your role. You get a staff
invite email pointing at /signin/staff.
The staff door
/signin/staff is the same sign-in mechanism as the delegate door, with the magic
link tab first, because a freshly invited account has no password yet.
-
Open
/signin/staffand request a magic link with your invited address. -
Click the link in your email. You are signed in and sent to your role's home page.
-
Go to
/accountand set a password, so you are not dependent on email every time.
If the invite email never arrives
The invite creates your account regardless of whether the email is delivered. The admin who invited you sees a warning when delivery fails and can simply send you the sign-in URL by other means. You do not need to be re-invited.
Rules
- Do not share staff accounts. The activity log records who did what, and a shared account makes it useless exactly when it matters.
- Use your own address, not a shared inbox, for the same reason.
- Your session is re-checked against the database periodically, so a role change or a disabled account takes effect quickly rather than at next sign-in.
Leaving
Ask an admin to disable your account rather than deleting it. Disabling stops access immediately and keeps your history in the activity log intact.
