Helpful Hint
Typing @ into the comment field, followed by an employee's name, will tag that employee in the comment. Comments do not have a limit on the number of employee tags, so there is no limit to how many employees it can include.
Default Permissions for Goals/OKRs
By default, admins and managers have full access to view, edit, and remove goals and key results. Employees can view goals and key results that are relevant to them, but may have limited editing or removal permissions depending on their role and the goal's visibility settings.
Note
Default permissions are set to ensure that only appropriate users can make changes to goals and key results. Admins and managers can adjust these permissions as needed for your organisation.
Daily activities
Users can view goals and key results based on their permissions and the visibility settings chosen when the goal was created. For example, a goal set to "Everyone" will be visible to all employees, while a goal set to "Group" or "Participants" will be restricted accordingly.
Editing data
Admins and managers can edit all goals and key results. Employees can edit goals and key results they own or have been given permission to edit. Editing permissions can be adjusted by admins and managers as required.
Removing data
Admins and managers can remove any goal or key result. Employees can only remove goals and key results they own, unless additional permissions are granted.
Further Information
If you need further assistance with permissions or managing goals and key results, please contact your system administrator or reach out to Employment Hero support.
