Who is this guide for? This guide is for companies using Givver’s standard Admin, Line Manager and Employee access levels, where configurable roles and permissions have not been enabled.
If your company has configurable roles and permissions enabled, use Configurable Roles and Permissions in Givver. If you are unsure which setup your company uses, ask your company administrator.
🪄 Admin Access
Admins have full visibility and control across the entire platform.
What Admins Can Do
Access all features, including Reporting, Company Settings, Payroll, Analytics, and more.
Override actions when needed, such as approving changes or correcting data.
View and manage all documents, employee profiles, and company-wide configurations.
Add, approve, reject, and delete holidays for any employee.
Create, modify, or delete time-off requests on behalf of any team member.
Admins essentially have unrestricted control, ensuring that all processes run smoothly and remain consistent across the organisation.
👥 Line Manager Access
When a user is assigned as a Line Manager, they gain access to the information required to support and manage their direct reports, without oversharing or exposing sensitive data.
What Line Managers Can See
Key employment information for their direct reports:
Job title, department, start date (Personal details tab)Work schedule and contract details.
Leave information:

Document Access
Document visibility for managers is granted on an ad-hoc basis, depending on your company’s policies and internal practices.
Line Managers do not see sensitive compensation information unless explicitly configured in future settings.
👤 Employee Access
Employees can view their own information and the areas of the platform that help them stay informed and up to date.
What Employees Can See

Their employment information
Their documents (contracts, payslips, company files shared with them)
What Employees Can Do

What Employees Cannot See

This ensures privacy is always respected.
