Per-site or per-department scheduler restrictions are not available today. BetterDesks has admin, scheduler, and employee roles; schedulers can manage scheduling and review timesheets.

Detailed answer

The scheduler role is a management role for day-to-day operations. Schedulers can manage schedules, review timesheets, view operational records, and work with reports.

BetterDesks does not offer per-scheduler assignment rules today. If your business needs each scheduler limited to a particular client, site, or department, that should be treated as a permission requirement outside the current BetterDesks workflow.

Example

A staffing agency has three coordinators who each manage different client sites. In BetterDesks today, those coordinators should be treated as schedulers with broad scheduler-level access, not as site-restricted scheduler accounts.

How BetterDesks helps

BetterDesks separates management users from employees and keeps sensitive payroll document management admin-only. Site-scoped scheduler permissions are not available today.
