Finally! The Power to Control Who Sees What (Without Being the Office Privacy Police)

Remember that awkward moment when the new intern accidentally saw everyone's salary information? Or when someone from marketing updated the CEO's profile to say their favorite hobby is "extreme yodeling"? Yes, we've all been there.

Well, those days are officially over.

Introducing Roles and Permissions: Your New Workplace Superhero Feature

We're rolling out something that's going to change the game entirely. Think of it as giving everyone in your company their own personalized key card except instead of opening doors, it controls what profile information they can see and edit.

The "Finally, Someone Gets It" Moment

Let's be real, every company has information that shouldn't be available to everyone. HR needs to see salary data, managers need to update team information, and frankly, not everyone needs to know that Janet from accounting has a side business selling artisanal soap (though props to Janet).

Our new roles and permissions system lets you create the perfect balance between transparency and privacy. It's like having a really smart bouncer for your employee profiles.

Users will see a new icon next to restricted attributes if they've been allowed access.

How It Actually Works (Spoiler: It's Pretty Sweet)

Create Roles Like You're Building Your Dream Team Want to create an "HR Ninja" role? Go for it. Need a "Department Manager Supreme" designation? You got it. Each role comes with specific superpowers:

  • View Profile: See employee information (the basics everyone needs)
  • Edit Profile: Make changes and updates (for the people who actually should)
  • View/Edit Restricted Attributes: Access the sensitive stuff (salary, performance reviews, that embarrassing photo from the holiday party)

Turn Any Attribute into Fort Knox or Times Square Every piece of profile information can now be either public (visible to all) or restricted (need special clearance). Salary information? Restricted. Contact details? Public. That collection of vintage lunch boxes? Your call.

Assign Roles Like You're Handing Out Superpowers Once you've built your roles, you can assign them to anyone. Sarah from HR gets the full access treatment, while the summer interns get the "can see names and email addresses" package. Fair and square.

Why This Changes Everything

No more accidentally sharing sensitive information. No more "wait, who can actually edit this?" conversations. No more playing email tag to get basic contact info because nobody knows what they're allowed to see.

Instead, you get:

  • Peace of mind knowing sensitive data stays with the right people
  • Flexibility to adjust permissions as people's roles change
  • Transparency where it makes sense, privacy where it doesn't
  • Time back in your day because you're not managing profile access manually

The Best Part? It Grows With You

Promoting someone to management? Boom! Update their role and they instantly get the appropriate permissions. New department? Create a custom role that fits exactly what they need. Company restructuring? Adjust roles without breaking a sweat.

It's like having a permission system that actually understands how real companies work.

Ready to Take Control?

This feature is rolling out over the next few weeks, and honestly, we can't wait to see how you use it. Whether you're protecting sensitive HR data or just making sure people can find the information they actually need, roles and permissions puts you firmly in the driver's seat.

Because at the end of the day, information should flow to the right people at the right time – not create chaos, confusion, or uncomfortable conversations by the coffee machine.
