DocumentationGiving an individual extra permissions
In Open Core HR, what a person can do is decided by their role. There isn't a separate screen in the current app for granting one individual extra permissions on top of their role. To change what someone can access, you either move them to a different role or adjust the permissions on the role itself.
- Roles & Permissions — Open Roles & Permissions from the menu.
How to change one person's access
Pick whichever fits:
- Move the person to a different role — open their employee profile and change the Role in the work information section. They immediately get whatever that role allows. Use this when an existing role already matches the access they need.
- Create a role for the access you want — on the Roles & Permissions screen, click Add Role, tick exactly the permissions needed, and assign that role to the person. Use this when no existing role fits. See Creating and editing a role.
- Adjust an existing role's permissions — on Roles & Permissions, expand the role and tick or untick permissions. Remember this affects everyone with that role, not just one person.
