Permissions

Easyteam uses a granular permission system to control access to each workforce management feature.

Permission Types

Easyteam offers fine-grained access control through a comprehensive set of permissions across three main categories:

Shift Management

Shift-level permissions let users interact with timesheet data and manage work schedules. These include SHIFT_READ for viewing shifts and timesheets, while SHIFT_WRITE, SHIFT_ADD, and SHIFT_UPDATE control the ability to create and modify shift data.

Location Management

Location-based permissions manage access across specific work sites. The LOCATION_READ permission enables viewing all employee data within a location, while LOCATION_ADMIN grants full administrative control over location settings and configurations.

Organization Management

At the highest level, ORGANIZATION_ADMIN provides complete access to manage all locations and settings across the entire organization.

Common Permission Configurations

Granular permission structure in Easyteam

Regular Employee

A standard employee typically only needs access to see their own shifts and view their personal timesheet:

Shift Manager

A location manager needs more comprehensive access to manage their team's schedules, but only in locations they're assigned to:

Regional Manager

Regional managers require full access across multiple locations, without access to the whole organization:

Permission Inheritance

Permissions follow a hierarchical structure. For example, ORGANIZATION_ADMIN automatically includes all location-level permissions, and LOCATION_ADMIN includes shift management permissions.

WARNING

When implementing the payroll module, only render the component to the relevant users and hide it for everyone else.
