Directory Permissions Explained

Overview of the 'Directory' Permissions Explained for Managers

The Directory permission can be turned OFF, turned ON (for subordinates only) or turned ON (for selected offices).

There is an additional box to select 'Hide Comps & Bens'. If this box is ticked, then the manager will not have access to data relating to employees Salaries, Bonuses, or Benefits.

Allowing Directory access enables the 'View' button on the directory tab for selected employees. The manager can also send or resend the invite emails to new employees from this page.

Manager Perms 3

If a manager without directory permission turned on clicks view on one of their subordinates, they can see the summary page for that employee but can not edit their details. 

If directory access has been granted, then the manager can view all that employee's data (unless 'Hide Comps & Bens' has been ticked) and the manager can also edit the personal and employment details of that employee.

If a manager edits personal details for the employee, then the employee will get an email notification advising them of this.
