Add admins and manage roles & permissions
Kredily uses roles to decide what each person can see and do. Admins grant access; the role determines the screens and actions available.
Roles at a glance
| Role | Typical access |
|---|---|
| Admin / HR Admin | Full HR setup, employees, attendance, leave, settings |
| Finance Admin | Payroll, salary structures, pay register, statutory |
| Manager / Team admin | Their team's attendance, leave approvals, reportees |
| Employee | Self-service: own attendance, leave, payslips, profile |
(Exact role names can vary by plan; the principle is the same โ access follows the role.)
Give someone admin / extra access
- Go to Settings โ Controls & Permissions (or Roles & Permissions).
- Find the employee and assign the role/permission you want them to have.
- Save. The change applies on their next login.
An admin must already be an employee in your directory. To make someone the CEO/owner-level admin or grant a colleague admin rights, assign the appropriate role here โ you don't need a separate "external" account.
Common issues
- "Where do I give admin permission to another employee?" โ Settings โ Controls & Permissions, then assign the role. They must be in the directory first.
- Can the CEO edit anyone's profile? โ yes, with an admin-level role; a plain manager only sees their own reportees.
- Access doesn't apply โ roles take effect on next login; have them sign out and back in.
- Adding an admin and licensing โ admins still occupy a user seat; see Increase your user licenses if you're at your limit.
When to contact support
A role is assigned correctly but the person still can't see the expected screens โ raise a ticket with their employee ID and the role you assigned.
