Overview
The Manage Permissions area lets you control exactly what each member of staff can see and do in Florence. There are 30 permission toggles, and they are the same in every country (UK, France and Canada) - only the wording on the label differs.
The table below explains what each toggle does in plain English, plus a few helpful details:
Where it applies - whether the toggle appears on Core, Rota, or both.
Worker types - which kinds of worker the permission relates to (Permanent, Bank and/or Agency).
On by default - whether the toggle is switched on by default for non-director staff.

What each toggle does
Permission | What it does | Where it applies | Worker types | On by default |
Access Location Settings | Lets the user open a site's settings and update things like its address, contact details, pay period and the staffing numbers it needs. | Core & Rota | N/A | Yes |
Access Mission Control | Gives access to Mission Control — an overview screen for keeping an eye on how shifts are being filled across locations. Currently only available to Regional & Company Directors. | Rota | Perm, Bank, Agency | No |
Access Reporting | Lets the user see the reporting and analytics dashboards, like spend summaries. (Reporting must also be switched on for your organisation, and unit managers don't see it.) | Core & Rota | Perm, Bank, Agency | No |
Edit Shifts | Unlocks the actions on a shift — cancelling it, removing or no-showing a worker, inviting specific workers, changing the rate or unit, releasing it to more workers, and cancelling several at once. | Core & Rota | Perm, Bank, Agency | Yes |
Access Staffing Requirements | Lets the user view and set how many staff a unit or location requires. | Rota | Perm, Bank | Yes |
Access Timesheets | Lets the user edit timesheets — viewing hours worked, approving them, and fixing mistakes before payroll. | Core & Rota | Perm, Bank, Agency | Yes |
Activate Workers | Lets the user approve a newly added worker so they're switched on and can be booked. (Only appears if the new worker approval flow is enabled for your organisation.) | Rota | Perm, Bank | No |

Manage Bank and Perm Staff | Lets the user manage their perm & bank staff profiles — adding and editing staff, adding skills, compliance and leave. This is the main key to the staff area; the document, HR and contract options below only work alongside it. | Bank Mgr + Rota | Perm, Bank | Yes |
Manage Contracts (direct reports only) | Lets the user view and edit employment contracts and pay for the bank and permanent staff they directly manage. | Rota | Perm, Bank | No |

Manage Shift Presets | Lets the user create and edit shift presets — saved, ready-made shifts that make posting common shifts faster. | Core & Rota | Bank, Agency | Yes |
Manage Shift Uplifts | Lets the user add and edit uplifts — extra pay on top of the normal rate for nights, weekends or bank holidays — on shifts and presets. | Core & Rota | Perm, Bank, Agency | No |
Manage Agency Workers | Lets the user block agency workers they don't want sent to the facility, and favourite the ones they do. | Core & Rota | Agency | Yes |

Review Applications | Lets the user review staff & agency shift applications and accept or decline them. | Core & Rota | Agency | Yes |
Run Payroll | Lets the user run payroll for a pay period — turning approved timesheets into pay. Must have access to all locations in the payroll group. | Rota | Perm, Bank | No |
Sign Temporary Contracts | Lets the user sign temporary contracts on behalf of the company. Used in France for CDD contracts, covering both your own staff and agency workers. | Rota | Perm, Bank, Agency | No |
View Employee Records (direct reports only) | Lets the user see HR and employee records for the people who report directly to them. (Needs 'Manage Bank and Perm Staff' as well.) | Rota | Perm, Bank | No |

French & Canadian labels
The list of toggles is identical everywhere — these are just the localised labels. Canada shows a label only where it differs from UK English; otherwise it reads the same as the UK.

Country Nuances
Canada uses plainer English in a few places: “Manage worker settings” (UK: Manage agency workers), “View rates” (UK: View agency rates), plus “Manage all contracts”, “View HR docs” and “View all HR docs”.
France reframes around French employment law - for example 'Manage Bank and Perm staff' becomes “…personnel interne (CDI/Agent et CDD)”, Run Payroll becomes “Export de paie”, and View Agency Rates drops the word ‘agency’. Quebec French differs again (e.g. “quart de travail” for a shift).
Sign Temporary Contracts is France-focused: it relates to the France-only “Contrats” (CDD) tab and there covers both your own staff and agency workers.
