This is where you can read about all the features we've introduced for managing your account and staff. We will be continuously updating this page with any new features added. You can also learn about all our new features in the release notes updates that we regularly email.
November 2022 | Improved account security
For improved account security you will now have to verify your identity when editing a user record. When saving changes to a staff/user record, you will be asked to re-enter your password.
July 2022 | Improved account security
For improved account security we have made some changes to staff/user management in Brightpearl.
Changing your own password
To change your password at any time, whilst logged into Brightpearl, you can go to your username and My Password. You will now only see an option to click a button which will send an email to reset your password. Follow the steps in the email to complete your password change. Read more about user passwords
Editing My Details
Individual users are no longer able to edit the following details within My Details. Changes can now only be made by admins, which are users with permission to settings and staff setup:
- Email address
- SMTP email address
- Expenses code
Default permissions for new staff/users added
When adding a new staff/user they will default to having no permissions at all. Before they will be able to do anything in Brightpearl you will need to assign them the relevant permissions. To speed the process up we have added a button to switch all permissions to enabled, you can then make any required changes before saving. You can also use the existing option to copy another user's permissions. Read more about permissions
June 2018 | New staff permissions for sales and purchases
We've separated out some of the permissions for staff working in the sales and purchases areas. When this feature is activated on your Brightpearl account these new permissions will default to active for all users.
