Permissions 2.0

The previous default role was replaced with 5 new roles that orchestrate how permissions are distributed within the system. Here's the list of new roles and what they are used for:

- Employee about themselves - basic user role that allows managing what employees can view and edit in their own profiles.
- All employees - basic role that determines what information an employee can see against other employees in their profile.
- Team lead - user role that is assigned automatically when a user becomes a manager of a team.
- Manager - is assigned automatically to everyone who has at least one employee.
- Administrator - user role that has all the highest permissions within the system.

All default roles can be edited, except the administrator.

The new permission system will assign roles automatically to users depending on their current position, which in turn slightly removes the constant management routine.

With the introduction of role conditions, administrators can configure custom roles very flexibly. These conditions work as triggers that make the system look at users and change their roles automatically in accordance with these conditions.

For instance, administrators can set up multiple conditions for a role such as location, department, position, and other, and when a user aligns with these defined parameters, the role gets automatically assigned to a user by the system.

Now companies can create and assign as many roles as they need, and no permission conflicts will occur. Because for every role assigned, the higher permission will take effect, while the lower permissions will be ignored.

New permissions are available by default only to new clients, but in case you are an existing client, and you want to update your old permission system to Permissions 2.0, please contact our customer support team for further assistance.

Improved reviews

In this release we have improved rating questions and introduced the possibility to add a custom number of answers for Scales that allow evaluating employees even more precisely.

The grid chart was also updated and now it follows the N-box talent matrix evaluation methodology, which in turn should help HRs to analyse information with even more accuracy.

This change brings unique functionality to build custom charts manually with as many answers as you need, that can uncover many interesting things about your company.

The histogram within the Competencies section was removed and important data is displayed within the ‘Best performing competencies’ and ‘Competencies to improve’ blocks.

There's also a new table in competencies, that shows distribution of employees to a particular scale answer among every competency.

Google Meet integration: Interviews and 1-on-1s

The Google Meet was integrated with Interviews and 1-on-1s, and when a meeting is created choosing the Meet, the corresponding event is generated within the Google Calendar, and an invitation containing a meeting link is sent to users.

To integrate the Google Meet with your account, navigate to the Account -> Add integration and choose Meet from all available options. After you complete the integration, you can choose Meet in Interviews and 1-on-1s.
