Users and roles

The two sign-in roles, how managers follow from the org chart, who sees and does what, how HR creates logins, and what happens to access when someone leaves.

There are two sign-in roles: HR admin and employee. A manager is an employee with direct reports. Nobody assigns the manager role: it follows the org chart, so moving a team never needs a role change.

Who Sees Does
Employee Their own record, balances and leave, the holidays and policies that apply to them Books and cancels their own leave, updates their contact details
Manager Their direct reports’ ordinary fields and leave, and who in their team is off Approves or denies their team’s requests
HR admin Everyone, including pay and sensitive fields Manages records, policies, schedules, reports, pay transparency and settings

The same checks apply in the app, in exports and to assistants.

HR creates each login from the person’s record. Nobody can sign up on their own, and a Microsoft or Google sign-in only works for a login HR has already created, matched by work email. See sign-in.

A person’s login stops working at the end of their last day, and any assistant keys or connections they made stop with it.

Granting or removing HR admin, and turning a login on or off, are done by HR in the app. Each change is written to the audit log. Assistants can’t change access.
