Only an Owner role can invite a coach to their Ninety account. You can also change any current user to a coach (more below).

To add a user as a Coach in your account:

  1. Click Directory from the left navigation.
  2. Click Add teammate.
  3. Click the Role access dropdown and select Coach at the bottom of the list.
  4. Add your coach's email address.
  5. Click the Add teammates button.

 

Selecting the Coach role removes the Teams field because coaches have access to all non-private teams.

 

 

Coach Permissions in Ninety

The Coach role has similar access to Admins.

Here is a summary of their permissions:

  • Edit all teams (except Private teams)
  • Invite users
  • Control Billing (adding a credit card and updating subscriptions)
  • Add/Create any content
  • Start meetings
  • View Feedback Discussions

However, Implementers cannot be assigned content (Rocks, To-Dos, Issues, and so on).

 

Updating an Existing User to Coach

Follow these steps to turn an existing user on your account into a Coach:

  1. Click Directory from the left navigation.
  2. Find the person in your Directory who can become your Coach.
  3. Click on their current role in the Role column.
  4. Click on Implementer from the dropdown menu.

Once someone has the Coach role, they cannot be assigned to any teams and will be removed from any teams they were on previously. Their role allows them to view and edit all teams on your account (except private teams).
