Permissions and Visibility for an HR Business Partner
What is an HR Business Partner?
As an admin, you may want to give people in your company permissions to view or manage a subset of your company. This may be just one team, department, office, etc. Typically, the HR business partner (HRBP) position is responsible for aligning business objectives with employees and management in designated business units. However, there may be other reasons that you want to provide a user with these permissions. Common use cases for this are:
- HR Business Partners (or Liaisons)
- HR Admins for a Specific Office Location
What Visibility Does an HRBP Have?
The HRBP has full visibility into all employees that are members of the group they can view. This will include themselves if they are part of that custom field. This can be customized for certain tools if you only want someone to have access to a portion of Lattice (e.g., if you just want someone to have access to reviews). This is outlined below in setup.
What Can an HRBP Manage?
Based on the permissions selected during set up, HRBPs can execute for "their" employees in the following ways: edit employees profiles, edit goals, delete feedback, delete updates, move through phases of the review cycle.
