OrangeHRM is designed in such a way that an organization can empower users based on their Roles. The system consists of three pre-defined Roles as described below.

  • Global / Default Admin: has access to all the modules in the system and can view/access all employee information within the system working in multiple locations/regions of the organization (Regional access configuration is available only in OrangeHRM Enterprise system)
  • Default ESS (Employee Self Service): access is granted only to users own information
  • Default Supervisor: this profile allows access to self-service as well as direct reports information.

As a default setting, the accessibility privileges are configured for the Default Supervisor and Default ESS roles

Data Group Permissions can be edited only by a Global Admin for Default ESS and Default Supervisor if needed. However, Workflow permissions are uneditable for the default user roles.

In addition to the default user roles, an organization has the privilege or creating custom user roles as well.

The User Roles section enables the Global Admin to create custom user roles with configurable privileges and manage employee data across multiple modules, manage the workflows of various processes in the organization, and assign these User Roles specific to regions.

The default user role types (ESS, Supervisor, and Global Admin) can not be changed or edited. You may create your own custom user role to cater to your organizational requirements by following the below-mentioned steps in Add User Role page

To view the User Role list, go to Admin > User Management > User Roles,  and you will be taken into the below page.
