Get details on what users with various permissions/roles can see and do in Simployer One
Standard permissions are the default access rights predefined for different user groups/roles in Simployer One.
For each role, there are distinct permission levels categorized into two main groups:
Features
Access to Features
Actions that can be formed and information being shared
People Data
Read (See Only)
Write (Create, Edit, Archive, Delete)
Permission Terminology
In 'Settings --> Permissions' you will see the 4 permission description but for easier understanding we will adjust terminology a bit as per followed:
Owner = Role that allows user to see & do everything
Admin = Role that allows user to the most with a few limitations in terms of feature and people data access
Colleagues = Role that has Member at core with limited access to features and people data in the organization
Below we will continue refer to Members as Employee
The term 'colleague' we will instead continue to refer to when talking about what an employee can see for fellow employees
Manager = Role that has Member (Employee) but has extended permission for subordinates (direct reports)
Detailed access to Features
Below you can see the access permission for features based on one's role. The role is also defining to what extend you can see and use a feature.
