Workspace permissions define who can access, configure, and manage workspaces in Factorial. These permissions control which users can view or modify workspace-specific data and settings, helping maintain clear boundaries between different organizational units.
By assigning these permissions thoughtfully, administrators can ensure data security, prevent unauthorized changes, and maintain a well-organized structure across all workspaces.
Employees must be assigned to the corresponding permissions group for time planning permissions to apply.
