Understanding Permission Levels in HeyPros

Written by Cody T

HeyPros has several permission levels that control what each user can see and do inside your account. This helps you keep your workflows organized, protects sensitive information, and ensures your team members only access the tools they need.

Below is an overview of each permission level and what it is typically used for.



Administrator

Administrators have full access to the entire HeyPros account. This role is usually reserved for owners, operations managers, or anyone responsible for setting up and managing your company inside the platform.

Administrators can:

  • Add and remove staff

  • Manage company settings

  • Post public and private work orders

  • Review and approve subcontractor applications

  • Create and manage compliance document requests for Pro Plus accounts

  • View all jobs and messages

  • Update payment and subscription information

  • Plus everything a manager can do

Use this role for people who need complete control over your HeyPros account.


Manager

Managers can oversee day to day operations inside HeyPros. They can work with subcontractors, manage work orders, and communicate with the field without having access to sensitive company level settings.

Managers can:

  • Create and manage work orders

  • Review bids and assign jobs

  • Communicate with subcontractors

  • Upload files and photos

  • View most account activity

  • Plus everything a project manager/estimator can do

Managers cannot change plan details, billing information, or certain high level company settings.


Estimator or Project Staff

This permission level is designed for team members who work directly with subcontractors or communicate about job details but do not need full administrative access.

Project staff can:

  • Communicate inside a work order

  • Upload photos and job information

  • View work orders assigned to them or their team

  • Create work orders

  • Add notes and track progress

They cannot manage account settings or add/delete other users.


Private Subcontractor

Private subcontractors are added directly to your company account. They only see the work you assign or post to your private network.

Private subcontractors can:

  • Receive job offers and updates

  • View and respond to work orders

  • Upload photos and message your team

They do not see your company settings or other subcontractors.

Note that private subcontractors do not need the mobile app, but it is recommended. They will still receive text alerts for job updates.


Public Subcontractor

Public subcontractors have their own paid subscription and access the HeyPros Marketplace. They can view and bid on public work orders from any company.

Public subcontractors can:

  • Browse and bid on public work orders

  • Apply directly to companies hiring in their state

  • Message companies on offer and work orders

  • Complete jobs and upload work documentation

They do not have access to company settings or internal project management tools.


Summary

Here is a simple way to think about permission levels:

  • Administrators manage everything.

  • Managers run operations and job posting.

  • Project and field staff handle job communication and updates.

  • Private subcontractors work only with the company that invited them.

  • Public subcontractors can work with any company on the Marketplace.

Each role helps you keep your account secure, organized, and easy to manage as your team grows.
