Permissions 1.0
Updated over a year ago

Access rights

One of the important sections of the PeopleForce system. They make it possible to set up visibility and access to modules in the system and simplify the process of working with the system.

Now we have new Permissions 2.0. You can read about them here.
Our team can help with data transfer on a new account with Permissions 2.0.

Before providing employees with access to the system, this is the first thing you should set up.

In the settings, go to the Security block and select Permissions. By default, there are three main roles: Employee, Manager, and Admin. The administrator's role and rights in the settings are set by default.


What settings are there:
1. First block. What can this role do?

  • General

  • PeopleHR

  • PeopleRecruit

  • PeoplePerform

  • PeoplePulse

  • Reports

  • Settings

2. Second block. What can this role see?

  • See about themselves

  • See about subordinates

  • See as a team manager

  • See as a team member

  • See about others

First block

For example, we will work with the most basic role Employee. To set access rights for this role, you need to select the "Employee" role and click the "Edit" button in the upper right corner. There is a “Copy” button next to it. It will come in handy when you need to create a new role with similar access rights and minor changes.

When creating a role, you can rename it and add a description to it.

The same while editing.


First, you need to configure all modules for the role. For example, in the General tab, select what this position will see and what actions with employees will be available.

General

  1. Publish announcements. If you give access to publishing announcements, the employee will be able to publish any news on the Home page of your company profile. Additionally, you can give access to editing news by activating the "Manage announcements" field. You can read more about what announcements are and how to add them in the article.

  2. Company calendar. This setting allows the employee to see the company calendar.

Edit: the employee sees and can edit this field.



Then we select the employee's access to the rest of the system functionality in their profile.



In all the following tabs, the settings are identical. The main feature is that they give access to the personal data of other employees.
