# Managing and adding members of staff
## Cloud HQ is your central hub for keeping track of staff and assigning them access levels for your terminals. In this article, we'll show you two ways in which you can add new members of staff and one way of editing those already on your books.
1. [How to invite new members of staff to your team](https://helpcentre.sparkepos.com/knowledge/managing-and-adding-members-of-staff#invite-staff)
2. [How to manually add new members of staff to your team](https://helpcentre.sparkepos.com/knowledge/managing-and-adding-members-of-staff#manually-add-staff)

Make sure to [log into Cloud HQ](http://hq.sparkepos.com) before you begin.
### How to invite new members of staff to your team
Start by finding **"Staff Management" **along the toolbar on the left-hand side of the screen. Then, on the following screen, click **"Manage Staff"**.
The following table displays a list of all members of staff you currently have on file. If you look in the top-right corner, you'll see three buttons: **Invite Staff**, **QR Card Settings** and **Add Staff Member**.
Click**Invite Staff**.
Fill out these boxes with the required information. If you've only just signed up for an account with SPARK, the **Role** drop-down menu will likely empty. If this is the case, please see our article on how to set up **[Roles & Permissions](https://helpcentre.sparkepos.com/knowledge/roles-and-permissions?hsLang=en) **before you continue.
The **Login HQ** box can be checked if this new member of staff should be permitted to log into Cloud HQ. This is especially useful if they belong to management or are otherwise directly involved in the administration of your business. When you're done, click the blue **+ Add New** button.
The system will then send an email to your new team member. This email will contain a link to a form for them to fill out and finalise their onboarding. Once they've completed that, you're done! Your new staff member will be visible in the **Staff List** and ready to begin operating your terminals.
### How to manually add new members of staff to your team
Start by finding **"Staff Management" **along the toolbar on the left-hand side of the screen. Then, on the following screen, click **"Manage Staff"**.
The following table displays a list of all members of staff you currently have on file. If you look in the top-right corner, you'll see three buttons: **Invite Staff**, **QR Card Settings** and **Add Staff Member**. Click **Add Staff Member**.
Fill out the following form with the required information. If you've only just signed up for an account with SPARK, the **Choose Staff Role** drop-down menu is likely to be empty. In this case, please see our article on how to set up **[Roles & Permissions](https://helpcentre.sparkepos.com/knowledge/roles-and-permissions?hsLang=en)** (opens in a new tab)before you continue.
By default, the **Cloud Office Login (Management)** toggle will be greyed out. Simply click it to switch it on. Here, you can give your new manager a password with which they will be able to log into your business's Cloud HQ account. The **username** field will automatically populate with their email address.
Once you're done, click the green **submit** button to confirm your settings. And that's it! Your new staff member has been enrolled.
### How to edit existing members of staff
Start by finding **"Staff Management" **along the toolbar on the left-hand side of the screen. Then, on the following screen, click **"Manage Staff"**.
The following table displays a list of all members of staff you currently have on file: your **Staff List**.
When viewing your **Staff List**, take note of the green **Edit** icon in the rightmost column, as shown below.
Clicking on any of these will bring up the **Edit Staff** form.
From here, you can change any of the information stored about this particular staff member (except for email address). You can also add Cloud HQ login information for them and change their payroll enrolment - from hourly to salaried, or vice versa.
When you're done, click save to finalise your changes.
