A scanner is a team member whose job is checking attendees in at the door. In TixFix they hold the Scanner Plus role and are assigned to specific events.

What Scanner Plus can and can’t do

Scanner Plus is deliberately narrow. Door staff — often casual or volunteer — get exactly what they need to work the entrance and nothing else. They cannot see your revenue, change ticket prices, or touch your Stripe connection.

Add a scanner

1

Go to Settings → User & Role

Click Settings in the left sidebar, then the User & Role tab.
2

Click Add a User

The Add a User dialog opens.
3

Enter their name and email

First Name, Last Name, and Email Address are required. The invite goes to this address, so check it carefully.
4

Choose the Scanner Plus role

Open Select Role and pick Scanner Plus.
5

Assign them to events

Use Select Events to choose which events this person can scan. They will not see any event you don’t select.
6

Click Save

They appear in your user list immediately and receive an email invitation with instructions for signing in.
Add your door team a day or two before the event, not on the night. It gives people time to accept the invite and sign in before there’s a queue at the entrance.

Change which events a scanner covers

Find the person in the User & Role list and click the pencil icon on their row. Adjust Select Events and save. Do this when you add a new event to a run — an existing scanner won’t automatically see it.

Remove a scanner

Click the trash icon on their row in the User & Role list.
Removal takes effect immediately, including during an event that is currently running. If someone is mid-shift on the door, wait until the event is over.

One person, two roles

The same person can appear more than once in your user list with different roles — for example an admin who also scans. Each entry is managed separately.
