What is Position management? Basics & usage
How positions define rank, grade, pay range, and authority, and how to use the position list.
A Position defines a job's rank, grade, pay range, and authority. Assigning positions to employees powers your org chart, evaluations, compensation, and approval flows.
Roles vs. Positions: a Role controls what a user can do in the system (permission group); a Position is the organizational job title/grade (e.g. Manager, Team Lead). They are different concepts — see #ROLE-001.
On the Position list screen you can view all positions (name, code, type, level, grade, job family, active state), add one via "New", click a row to edit, or delete unused ones. Unchecking "Active" removes it from assignment choices while keeping history.
See #POS-002 for a field-by-field guide to creating a position.
