Accepting an Invitation
If your employer has invited you to medishift, you will receive an email with an invitation link. Here you'll learn how to accept the invitation and set up your account.
If you want to register a company on medishift yourself, read Registration instead.
What happens when you're invited?
Your administrator has already created a profile for you in medishift. This profile contains:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Your role (e.g., Employee or Administrator)
- Your department assignment
By accepting the invitation, you gain access to this existing profile. You just need to set a password.
Step 1: Open the invitation email
- Open your email inbox
- Look for an email from medishift with the subject "Invitation to medishift"
- Click "Accept invitation" or the link provided
The invitation link in the email is only valid for 24 hours. If the link has expired, you can request a new one via "Forgot password" on the login page.
Check your spam folder. If you can't find the email, ask your administrator to resend the invitation.
Step 2: Review the welcome page
After clicking the invitation link, you'll see a welcome page with your details:
| Information | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Your name as stored in the system |
| Your email address | |
| Role | Your assigned role (Employee, Administrator, etc.) |
| Invited by | Name of the person who invited you |
Verify that the information is correct. If not, contact your administrator.
Step 3: Set your password
Choose a secure password for your account:
| Field | Requirement |
|---|---|
| New password | At least 6 characters |
| Confirm password | Must match the first password |
Click "Save password" to continue.
Use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. A password manager can help you create and store secure passwords.
Step 4: Get started
After setting your password, you will be automatically redirected to your dashboard. Depending on your role, you can now:
As an Employee:
- View your shifts
- Request time off
- Apply for open shifts
- Complete your profile
As an Administrator:
- Additionally: Create and manage shift schedules
- Manage employees
- Approve time off requests
Roles and permissions
The role assigned to you determines your permissions:
| Role | Permissions |
|---|---|
| Employee | View own shifts, request time off, edit profile |
| Administrator | Everything from Employee + manage shift schedules, manage employees, change settings |
| Owner | Full control over the account |
Your administrator can change your role later if needed.
