Manage Roles and Permissions

How to control which features and data each member can access via roles and permissions.

【Assign roles】

  1. 1.Go to Admin menu → Permission Management (Role Settings).
  2. 2.Assign each member an appropriate role from the standard set (general employee / manager / HR / admin, etc.).
  3. 3.Where scope limiting is available, restrict people to viewing and approving only their own departments.

【Handling sensitive data】

Sensitive data — payroll, health information, personal data — should be visible only to those explicitly granted access. Don't assume "admins see everything"; operate on least privilege.

【When changing permissions】

· Review permissions promptly on offboarding or transfers.

· Limit and record grants of strong permissions (company-wide data, payroll, etc.).

For tenant/role details, see the SEC-series (security-perm) articles; for login and 2FA, see #SEC-001.

Example

Permission Management → assign roles → scope to departments → least privilege for sensitive data.
