Chapter 2: Roles and Permissions

Employee and Managerial Roles
The Main Dashboard serves as a personalised landing page for users, offering quick access to relevant information, updates, and actions within the HR management platform. 
 
 
 
 Users can view key dates on the timeline, such as their employment anniversary or birthday. 
 The dashboard also promotes collaboration and engagement within the organisation. Through widgets like  Kudos , users can recognise colleagues for their contributions, while the  My Colleagues  widget offers visibility of team members and quick access to people-related information. Employees and managers can view an overview of their  Performance Status  and navigate directly to their performance dashboard. Users can also stay informed through carousel  announcements ,  company values , and  customised widgets that link to internal resources, training content, or other important system areas. 
 Overall, the dashboard helps users stay informed, engaged, and responsive by displaying relevant information and actions in one easily accessible location.

Administrator Roles
Administrators  are responsible for configuring and maintaining the content and behaviour of the My Dashboard to ensure it remains relevant and useful for users across the organisation. This includes: 
 
 managing dashboard widgets, 
 deciding which widgets are available, and 
 setting up the information displayed within them. 
 
 Administrators may use the dashboard configuration to publish announcements in the carousel banner, define or update company values , configure HR processes  displayed on the dashboard, and  create custom widgets that link to important resources, such as internal documentation or e-learning courses. They also oversee role-based access and permissions to ensure users only see widgets and information appropriate for their role within the organisation. 
 Through these configurations and governance duties, administrators ensure that the dashboard stays a valuable and efficient entry point to the HR management system. Future sections in this chapter detail the configuration options and settings for each widget.
