Permissions and Visibility for a Department Head

What is a Department Head?

Department Heads are typically the leader of a specific organization within your company.

What Visibility Does a Department Head have?

Department Heads do not have any added visibility. 

What Can a Department Head manage?

Apart from a Super Admin, Department Heads are the only other permission level that allows employees to set department-level goals. Department Heads also have permissions to edit a Department name, description, and its members. 

Note: You can set one employee as multiple Departments' Heads. You can also set multiple employees as Department Heads for a given Department.

Step 2: Click on the gear to the right of the Department for which you'd like to set a Department head for and select "Set department heads."
