Edit a program created by another professional (access rights)

To edit a program created by a colleague, its creator must give you access rights. Here's how, and how to make all of your company's programs editable by everyone.

💡 Who is this article for? Professionals who want to edit a program created by a colleague, or let their colleagues edit a program they created.

A program's access rights decide who can view or edit it. They are different from a professional's profile (super administrator, manager, employee, etc.). To learn what each profile can do, see Profiles and access.


Why can't I edit this program?

When a professional creates a program, they own it. By default, a program's access rights only let other professionals view it, not edit it. So if you can't edit a program, another professional created it and hasn't given you the right to edit it.

You can see who created the program here:

👉 Ask this person to give you edit rights by following the steps below.


Give a colleague the right to edit your program

  1. Open your program and click “Advanced settings”.

  2. Click the gear ⚙️.

  3. Choose who to give rights to:

    • The whole company: choose the rights to give all your colleagues.

    • A specific colleague: click “Search for colleagues or branches”, type the first letters of their name, select them, then choose their rights.

  4. Choose read and edit to allow editing, or read to allow viewing only.

  5. Click “Save”.

💡 In this example:

  • Henri Anderson owns the program (he has all rights).

  • Martine has been given rights to read and edit the program.

  • The rest of the company has rights to read the program.

The same principle applies to meal plans, goals and other items: access rights are always in the advanced settings.


Make all of your company's programs editable by everyone

Do you want all your professionals to be able to edit their colleagues' programs, without changing the rights one program at a time?

The Hexfit team can change your company's default access rights. The request must come from a super administrator of the account: write to us in the chat and specify the rights you want (for example, that all programs be editable by the whole company).

⚠️ This change only applies to programs created after the change. For existing programs, access rights must be changed manually, one program at a time, by following the steps above.
