When you set someone as a direct manager, Sage HR gives them the Direct manager role.
You decide what they can see and do. For example, you can choose if they can add time off for people who report to them.
To manage Direct manager permissions:
Click your name, then select Settings.
Select Permissions, then select Permissions again.
Under Select a role, open the drop-down and select Direct manager.
You can add, change, or remove permissions for the Direct manager role.
📌TIP: It’s best to apply permissions to Employees I manage only.
EXAMPLE: Let direct managers add time off requests only for employees who report to them in the org chart.
