Administrators have the option to flip the following toggle switches in their settings to enable further privacy regulations.
With this toggle flipped "on", all users can only see their user from within their own department(s) instead of all employees within the company.
With this toggle flipped "on", absence reasons for leave can only be viewed by the user's respective approver and manager, as well as the admin. Otherwise, with the toggle flipped "off", all users can see the absence reason for all of their co-workers - regardless of what user role they have.
Below is a break-down of what each user would see with this toggle switch enabled:
Regular users can only view the absence reason for their own leave
Approvers can see the absence reason from their requesters
Managers can see the absence reason from those within their department
Admins can see all leave types (this applies with the toggle switched to "off" as well)
We hope this answered any questions you might have had regarding the permissions of the different user roles in absentify.
