Role permissions in Agendrix

Agendrix has four main hierarchical roles:

  • Administrator

  • Manager

  • Supervisor

  • Employee

For each level, a basic role with the same name is offered for your use.

These roles all have specific permissions, which we'll cover later.

Apart from the administrator, who is by default the manager of all location, each user can have a different role for each branch.

This constitutes your organization's role hierarchy.


★It's important to note how notifications work in Agendrix. Notifications are always sent to the person's immediate superior. Find out more about the notification system.

E.g.: An administrator will receive notifications from all his employees unless he sets up a manager or supervisor in the organization.


Plus plan users also have the option of creating personalized roles to give additional authorizations or remove them.


Where to go

You can change employee roles at any time under Employees ➡️ Roles and positions.A) Administrator Role


1) Administrator

An Administrator has complete oversight of your account.

  • Create and manage locations

  • Create employees and assign all roles

  • Manage settings

  • Payroll export

  • Access the billing menu

To change a member's role, you must go under roles and positions


2) Manager

A Manager has the same access as an Administrator except:

  • His access can be scoped to certain locations only

  • He doesn't have access to the Billing menu

  • He doesn't have access to the Settings menu

  • He can see hourly rates and manage payroll (this option can be disabled using the role customization feature available with the Plus plan)


3) Supervisor

A Supervisor has the same access as a Manager except:

  • His role can be scoped to locations and positions

  • He cannot create a Fixed Terminal for clocking

  • He cannot approve his own time entries

  • He can never see hourly rates, salaries and wages

To create a supervisor, you must also select the positions that are supervised


4) Employee

An Employee does not have access to any management feature. In a glimpse, here is what he can do:

  • He can see his schedule and set his notification preferences

  • He can use the time clock

  • He can use the messenger and comment on his shifts

  • He cannot see hourly rates, wages nor salaries
