Two team members, six calendars, one schedule
How permissions should work in a small team, so a therapist sees their day without seeing your revenue.
A shared schedule should answer three questions quickly: who is working, which resources are available and whether the requested service can actually be delivered. Problems begin when personal calendars, room calendars and the booking system each hold a different version of the day.
Choose one booking calendar as the source of truth for client appointments. Connect external calendars to block unavailable time, but avoid creating the same appointment manually in several places. Test how updates and cancellations sync before the team relies on them.
Build availability from both people and resources. A therapist may be free while the treatment room is occupied, or an instructor may be available while the class space is closed. Add service durations, preparation buffers and cleanup time so back-to-back bookings remain realistic.
Give each team member only the access needed for their role. Practitioners should see their schedule and the client details required for the visit. Owners or managers may need broader reporting, refunds and configuration access. Shared passwords remove accountability and make access difficult to revoke when someone leaves.
Run a weekly exception check for blocked time, leave, double bookings and appointments created outside the normal flow. When something goes wrong, fix the rule or connection that allowed it rather than adding another manual calendar. A simpler source of truth is more dependable than a larger collection of schedules.
