Set manager access to view or edit employee tasks

Permissions: Owners and Coordinators

Product tier: Available for Greenhouse Onboarding and Greenhouse Welcome tiers

Owners and Coordinators in Greenhouse Onboarding can grant managers one of the following permissions related to their employees' onboarding tasks:

  • View-only permissions
  • Edit permissions

This gives you the freedom to determine whether managers in your organization can edit tasks assigned to their new hires and direct reports.

With this permission enabled, managers can view all assigned tasks in their direct reports' employee profiles.

Managers with this permission won't be able to edit employee tasks that were created by another user.

Note: With view-only permissions enabled, managers can still edit any tasks they personally created for their direct reports. They won't have permission to edit other tasks, such as organization-wide tasks created by Owners or Coordinators.
