Overview
Trikome's team system works at the store level. Each store can have:
- One Owner (account holder with billing access)
- Multiple Managers (full store management)
- Multiple Employees (limited access)
Team members can be given access to specific stores, useful for multi-location brands.
Role Permissions

| Manage devices | ✓ |
| Invite/remove team members | ✓ |
| Access billing and subscription | ✓ |
| Create/delete stores | ✓ |
Manager

| Capability | Access |
|---|---|
| Manage products, collections, menus | ✓ |
| Manage devices | ✓ |
| Invite/remove Employees | ✓ |
| Access billing and subscription | ✗ |
| Create/delete stores | ✗ |

| Capability | Access |
|---|---|
| View products, collections, menus | ✓ |
| Edit products (add/update) | ✓ |
| Edit collections | ✗ |

Inviting Team Members
To invite someone to your team:
- Go to Account → Team in your dashboard
- Click Invite Member
- Enter their email address
- Select the role (Manager or Employee)
- Select which stores they can access
- Click Send Invite
The invitee will receive an email with a link to join.
What Happens After Invite
- Invitee receives email with join link
- They create a Trikome account (or sign in if they have one)
- They're added to your team with the specified role
- They can now access the stores you selected
Managing Team Members
Viewing Your Team
Go to Account → Team to see:
- All team members and their roles
- Which stores each member can access
- Pending invitations
Changing a Member's Role
- Go to Account → Team
- Click on the team member
- Select a new role
- Click Save
Role changes take effect immediately.
Changing Store Access
- Go to Account → Team
- Click on the team member
- Check/uncheck stores to adjust access
- Click Save
Removing a Team Member
- Go to Account → Team
- Click on the team member
- Click Remove from Team
- Confirm the removal
They will immediately lose access to all stores.
Multi-Store Access
For brands with multiple locations, team access can be configured per store:
Example Setup:
| Team Member | Role | Stores |
|---|---|---|
| Alex | Manager | Downtown, Midtown |
| Jordan | Employee | Downtown only |
| Casey | Manager | Midtown, Eastside |
This allows regional managers to handle their locations without affecting others.
Switching Between Stores
Team members with access to multiple stores can switch using the store selector in the dashboard:
- Click the store name in the header
- Select a different store
- The dashboard updates to show that store's content
Best Practices
Principle of Least Privilege
Give team members only the access they need:
- If someone just updates prices → Employee role
- If someone builds menus and manages displays → Manager role
- Reserve Owner access for business principals only
Regular Access Review
Periodically review who has access:
- Remove departed employees promptly
- Downgrade roles when responsibilities change
- Check that store access matches current job duties
Separate Personal and Shared Accounts
Each person should have their own account. Avoid sharing login credentials:
- Shared logins make audit trails useless
- You can't remove access granularly
- Password changes affect everyone
Troubleshooting
Invite email not received
- Check spam/junk folder
- Verify the email address was entered correctly
- Ask the recipient to add
noreply@trikome.coto their contacts - Resend the invitation
Team member can't see a store
Check that:
- They were given access to that specific store
- They're signed into the correct account
- Their role wasn't recently changed
Can't invite more members
Verify your subscription:
- Free plans don't include team features
- Some Premium plans may have member limits
