When you assign a user as a direct manager for an employee, you can edit what all direct managers have access to. For example, if you want to amend whether a direct manager can add time off for an employee directly reporting to them.
To get to 'Direct manager' permissions:
Click your name in the top-right-hand corner, then click Settings.
On the settings menu, click Permissions, then click Permissions.
Under Select a role, click on the drop-down then select Direct manager.
You can then add, edit, or delete permissions applied to the role of 'Direct manager'.
📌TIP: Typically you may want any permission you add to the 'Direct manager' role to only apply for 'Employees I manage'.
EXAMPLE: Apply permissions so that the direct manager can only add time off requests for employees who report directly to them based on the Org chart.
