Just like a real company, everybody all plays a different role to work and grow together, this concept is the same in WorkDo.

There are 3 key roles in a WorkDo workplace, and they are member, admin and owner, each with a different purpose and role to play to facilitate the running of the company.

Furthermore, with each tool, there are team members that are responsible for maintaining the settings and records other than using it, so each tool also has a tool role that limits team members’ permissions on what they can do with each tool.(Know more!

Now let have a closer look at each of the 3 roles in WorkDo!

1 │ Member

  1. Employees │
  2. Managers │ When members are assigned as managers with the HR tool, they hold the responsibility of signing off on various approvals and eforms and are allowed to view certain team and workplace data.

2 │ Admin

An admin is responsible for managing the settings of the workplace, group or between buddies. Each level could have more than one admins and they can do everything a member can on top of…

  1. Deleting or editing posts.
  2. Deleting comments.
  3. Managing members, including inviting, approving, removing members from workplaces and groups, whether to allow members to invite other people , block members, as well as employee termination settings.
  4. Level Management
  5. Activate or deactivate advanced tools and set tool roles

FAQ-ID:1113
Designed with company structure and access control in mind, WorkDo’s tools offer different roles (permissions) for each advanced tool. So, if there are certain functions that you can’t seem to locate, it is possible that you do not have the right tool role to access them. If this is the case, please ask the workplace admins to change your tool role.

Each tool has its unique settings and features, but only the tool admins could access and manage its information. So once a tool is enabled, please be sure to check everyone’s tool role is correctly assigned.

By default, WorkDo will automatically assign workplace admins with the highest tool role whenever a tool is enabled, everyone else will be assigned with the lower access level. It is up to the workplace admins to manually assign appropriate roles to each team member.
