Who has access to the documents?

Higher roles (Owner, general admin and HR) will have access to all employee folders in the Document Manager. Employees can access their own folders to view the documents the company shares with them. 

On the other hand, lower roles (manager, workplace admins and department admins) will only have access to the general folders of the employees they manage. Access changes for shared folders because you, as an admin, can limit access to lower roles in shared folders.  

You can enable or disable this switch by following this route:

Configuration >> Automations >> User accesses

When the switch is disabled:

  • No lower roles (manager, department administrator and workplace administrator) will be able to access to other employees’ shared folders
  • The shared folders will not be displayed.
  • Only the general folders of the employees they manage will be displayed.
