The release note for this month is on the system control permissions and the varying access admins have on it. The Systems Control Permissions feature allows organizations to manage what each admin can do within modules on the system.
The Systems Control Permissions feature empowers organizations to define the capabilities of each admin within the Leave Management module.
Depending on their roles, admins can be granted varying levels of access to specific features, including options for viewing, editing, or managing settings.
Previously, the permissions system did not function as intended. For instance, an admin assigned view-only access to features such as Leave Requests still had the ability to edit, delete, or create records. This situation resulted in:
- Confusion around what each permission level really meant
- Unintended changes made by admins who were only meant to view
- Difficulty in assigning clear responsibilities within HR or Admin teams
What’s New?
With this release, we’ve updated systems control permissions in the Leave Management module to ensure that:
- Whoever an admin assigns the “View” permission, they can now only view that feature. They will no longer be able to take any action—like edit, delete, or create—unless they have been explicitly granted permission to do so.
- This applies across key leave features including:
- Leave Requests (Reset, Cancel, Extend, Recall)
- Leave Policy
- Additional Leave Days
- Blocked Leave Days
- Reserved Leave Days
- Leave Settings (Accrual, Public Holidays, Document Format)
- Leave Plan
- Upload Leave History
- Leave Balance
- Resumption Settings
Please note that whoever is assigned the Edit, Delete, and Add or Manage role, the corresponding View role must also be selected.
For every feature that has to do with Leave request now, the permission is now granular. An Admin can only approve/decline a request, apply for leave on behalf of an employee, extend, cancel, reset, recall, view handover note, view proof of leave, export leave request etc if he/she has been assigned permission to do so.
