Teams and sharing

Updated Oct 9, 2026

What it's for. Teams lets the people who work for you use Clamp under your business. They log their own time, mileage and receipts on your jobs, and you see it. Each person's role decides what they can see and change. Subs are different: independent businesses you invite to one job, free and without a seat.

Where to find it

Settings › Sharing, which only the owner and admins see. Without Teams, the Team and Schedule types rows don't show; a Bring your team into Clamp card takes their place.

Teammates reach their own view of the Team screen from the Jobsites tab, with Manage your team.

The plan and seats

Invite a teammate

  1. Open Team and tap the person icon at the top right (or Add your crew if no one is added yet).
  2. Under CONTACT, enter their Email and Name. Phone is optional.
  3. Under ROLE & ACCESS, pick a Role; it starts on Contributor. For a contributor or viewer, also pick Job access: Assigned jobs only or All jobs. Contributors start on Assigned jobs only; viewers, staff and admins on All jobs.
  4. Tap Send invite.

The invite shows as PENDING. Tap Resend, or the ⋯ for Revoke invite. If no seats are left, the sheet says All seats used.

How they accept. The email comes from your business name and the link is good for 7 days. It opens a page that reads "Join [your business] as [role] on Clamp." They enter the email the invite went to, tap Continue, enter the 6-digit code Clamp emails them, and tap Join Team. The code goes only to the invited address; any other email is refused, so a forwarded link can't be used by someone else. Then they install Clamp and sign in with that same email. An old or revoked link says Invite expired.

Manage a teammate

Tap a member's ⋯ for Change role, Change job access (contributors, viewers, and anyone still on Assigned jobs only), Edit phone or Remove from team.

Changing someone's role resets their job access to the new role's default (Assigned jobs only for a contributor, All jobs for the rest). Where the new role has a choice, Clamp then offers Change job access.

Tap the member's row for Member details. For someone on Assigned jobs only, tap Assign to a job to add one of your active jobs, or the × to take them off one. A contributor with no assigned jobs sees none of your business records. ROLES THEY WORK sets the labor roles they log hours under.

When teammates log hours you haven't checked, Time to review appears at the top of the Team screen, hours only, to Accept, Assign to job or Adjust.

Schedule types

Settings › Sharing › Schedule types (Teams) are the kinds of items on your Jobsites schedule, the same for your whole team. Only the owner or an admin can change them.

The business portal

Settings › Sharing › Business portal (Assistant) puts your Clamp data in a web browser: leads, jobs, schedule, documents and reports. It shows your latest cloud backup, so cloud backup must be on with at least one backup run. The screen gives the Portal URL, your backup status, your team, and Open Business portal. You sign in there with your Clamp email and a code.

You and your teammates can open it, and everyone sees the business's backup, not their own. Only the owner and admins see Vendors & Bills, Time, Overhead, Stats, Team and job costs. Anyone on Assigned jobs only sees just their jobs.

Subs on your jobs

A sub, such as your electrician, joins one job with their own free Clamp account. On the Team screen, under Subs, tap Add a sub, enter their Email, pick an active Job, and tap Invite. You can also invite from the job's Jobsite Team section.

What a sub sees on that job:

They never see your documents or any dollar amount. If your Teams plan ends, the job turns read-only for them: they can still look, but can't add notes or photos. To take a sub off a job, tap the ⋯ on their row and confirm Remove; their notes and photos stay on the job.

The day-to-day side is in how to coordinate a jobsite.

Remove someone

Tap the member's ⋯ › Remove from team › Remove. They lose access to the app and the business portal right away, and their seat frees up.

If your Teams plan ends, the Team screen warns you first (Team access ends [date]). After that, teammates see that their seat has ended; their time, mileage and receipts stay on their phone and they can export them.
