Manager

As a manager, you will have some additional access rights than the standard employee user. Users that have direct reports automatically become managers.

FAQ
How to change the access level?

To change the level of access of an employee, just go to Employees > Employee name > Click Edit > and in the permission field, you can change from User to Supervisor or Admin > Click Save.

How to give to an employee manager access level?

To make someone a manager, make that colleague an approver for one colleague. For example, if John reports to Mary, Mary automatically gets manager access and can approve and decline John's requests.

To set Mary up as an approver for John, go to Employees > John > Profile > and change the Approver to Mary > Save.
