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.
The table below explains what each toggle does, 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.

FAQs
A manager says a menu or page has disappeared.
It is almost always a permission rather than a fault. Check their toggles, and check the locations assigned to them.
I've given someone View Employee Records but they still can't see anything.
Switch on Manage Bank and Perm Staff as well - the record, document and contract permissions only work alongside it.
I can't run payroll.
Run Payroll and Finalise Payroll Runs need access to every location in the payroll group. One missing location blocks the run.
