It is possible to set up a role that will give access only to the Absence tab on employee profiles, but this can only be done if the user does not have any other roles or permissions added for them.
Set up the Absence Only role
To set up the role:
Go to Setup and click Roles & Permissions.
Click Add Role.
Give the role a name, for example 'Absence Only' and click Save.
Select the Access tab and click Edit.
Click Oganisation Structure Access and select the sections the employee needs to see or add absence for.
Click Save.
Select the Role Permissions tab and click Edit Permissions.
Add the permissions below:
Employee Administration
Employee Administration: Details
Leave Admin
Sickness Admin
Click Save.
Go to Setup and click Roles & Permissions.
Click the System Owner role.
Select the Role Permissions tab and click Edit Permissions.
Search for the name of your new role (for example, 'Absence Only') and enable the view and edit options.
Click Save.
Assign the Absence Only role to the employee
To add the role for the employee:
Search for the employee and go to their profile.
Click Security, then Roles.
Enable the Absence Only role.
⚠️ Important: If the employee has other roles selected, all permissions from those roles will still be in use. This will impact the employee's settings and may result in having more access than just the Absence tab.
Similarly, if the employee's post also has permissions added on it, these will still be in effect.
