Assigning permissions to users

How to assign permissions to users 

There are four default permission levels - 1) Owner, 2) Admin, 3) Manager, and 4) Colleague. 

Only Owners are allowed to set permissions in Simployer One, while admins can view permission information.

Head over to Settings > Permissions.  

Assigning or changing permission levels  

Find the employee you want to change permission for 

• Mark them with using the checkbox  
• Select Change role 
• Choose which permission level they should have

Keep in mind that an employee can have multiple roles at once.

If an employee has subordinates reporting to them, they are automatically assigned the Manager Role. This role gives  specific abilities to manage your direct reports.

• Core permission access for other areas in the system can still be defined by your main role — such as Employee, Admin, or Owner.
• Curious to know what users with different permissions can see and do?
