Permissions group permissions define who can create, edit, and manage permission groups in Factorial. These permissions control access to one of the most sensitive areas of the platform, ensuring that roles and responsibilities are correctly set up.
By assigning these permissions carefully, administrators can maintain security, avoid misconfigurations, and make sure that access rights are managed consistently across the company.

Employees must be assigned to the corresponding permissions group for time planning permissions to apply.
