By default, managers can only manage their direct reports according to your org chart. If you want certain managers to have broader access in the Performance module, you can adjust their access depth.
In Performance permissions, you’ll see a list of managers and can set how deep their access goes based on your org chart.
📎NOTE: These access only affects the Performance modules' features. This doesn't give access to things such as employee profiles or viewing employees' time off.
Only an admin has permissions to set up and manage performance settings.
As an admin user, click your name in the top right, then click Settings.
On the settings menu click Performance, then click Permissions.
Under Access depth next to the relevant manager, click on the drop down arrow and select the depth number.
Click Save.
EXAMPLE: Jack is an Assistant Manager, Annie is Head Housekeeper and Bill is a Housekeeper. Below you can see where Jack, Annie and Bill are in the Org Chart.
Annie is a direct subordinate of Jack, and Bill and the other housekeepers are direct subordinates of Annie. An access depth of 1 for Annie allows her to manage performance for the housekeepers. An access depth of 1 for Jack would only allow him to manage Annie and his other direct subordinates.
For Jack to have access to manage performance for the housekeepers too, we must change his access depth to 2.
