What is the difference between Staff, Approver and Super User?

 

Staff

Can view holiday/request leave/report absence/log meetings.

Approver

As above, but can also act as 'Approvers' to approve their Staff user holidays/vacation (e.g. a manager of a department might be the person who approves his department holiday)

Super User

As above, but can also amend company/user details/manage restrictions/edit holiday/add new staff /delete staff/manage leave types etc.

Key features of WhosOff

  • The system recognises your user level as you log in and will only allow you access to those user level features.
  • Large companies will have 'Approvers' for separate departments with possibly one or two super users (e.g. Administrators/Directors)
  • Smaller companies may well just have one 'Super user' who is also the 'Approver' for all the staff/employees
  • There must always be at least 1 Super User for your organisation, it is best to keep the number of 'Super Users' to a minimum. If you change the Super User to Staff and there are no other Super Users, you will not be able to administer your organisation's holiday. In such cases you will need to contact WhosOff support.
  • Note: When holiday/Vacation is booked by the Super User , on behalf of another user, restrictions and entitlement are not applied. This is because the system needs to be flexible to allow situations where people have to be off.
