Manage section permissions

You can manage section permission so you can control exactly who can see, edit, or delete each section and its rotas, so people only access what they need,

📌Note: You can also log in as the Employee to ensure you have given the correct access by using the Temp Cover function.

Manage section permissions

You need to manage section permissions carefully for reasons such as :

  • When you create a new section, a new permission is created for it, and you must assign that permission to the right people or roles, otherwise they won’t be able to access it.

  • Rota approvals are tied to the section, so getting section permissions right is essential for rota workflows.

  • If someone can’t see rotas, it’s usually because they’re missing the section and any required subsection permissions.

  • Permissions can be set at three levels, post, role, or individual employee, and the system combines them, so missing it in all three means no access.


Assign section permissions

To assign the relevant section permissions to an employee, this can be done by following the below steps:

  1. Navigate to the employee's post.

  2. Click Security on the left-hand menu within the post then select Permissions.

  3. Click Edit in the upper right corner

  4. Search for the section permission.

    • You may need to change the filters by unticking Permissions and then clicking on Advanced (Access).

  5. Once you have found the section permission you are looking for, tick all the required permission elements:

    • Can Delete

    • Can View

    • Can Add

    • Can Edit

    • Can Do

🤓Tip: If you have assigned the permissions to the employees' post, you may need to run the HR post update for this to take immediate effect.


Add or remove a section to a section group

To assign a section to a section group or remove a section from a section group, please follow the below steps:
