Who can do what in Education HRMS

Define who prepares people work, who decides approvals and who can see sensitive records.

How permissions work

Separate preparation from approval

The person entering an offer or faculty assignment should not decide their own review when independent judgment is required.

Scope employee information

Pay, identity and interview feedback need narrower access than assignment status or onboarding task progress.

Check people references

Employee references identify staff subjects and approvers; People references identify faculty owners, reviewers and operators.

Rehearse exceptions

Test a transferred employee, returned faculty decision and rejected leave request with the people who will own them.
