Dashboard Permissions define what users can view or manage on the company dashboard. These permissions ensure that important company information, events, and resources are only accessible to authorised roles, while allowing managers and HR teams to efficiently display birthdays, announcements, and company links. Properly configured dashboard permissions help maintain clarity, organisation, and easy access to relevant information across the company.
Employees must be assigned to the corresponding permissions group for employee permissions to apply.
