This guide has been created for system administrators.

Specific role permissions may be required, including: Users.

Please note: The employee directory is an additional, paid feature. For more information about how to purchase the employee directory feature, please contact [email protected].

Overview:

The access to the edays features and functions that a user is provided with is determined by their role and, subsequently, their role permissions. The users that can be viewed in respect of these features and functions is determined by the "User view settings".

This guide provides the steps required to set the "Directory user view" at the User system level, which will override the Global level and Template level settings. If your system has the employee directory feature activated, this view will determine which directory profiles are accessible.

2. Search for the required user and click the "Edit" button against their name.
3. In the user detail screen, select the "System" tab.
4. Scroll down the page to the "Directory user view" setting.
5. Click the dropdown and select the desired value:
   1. My Record: The current user only.
   2. Reportees: The list of people the current user approves, including alternative authorisation.
   3. Everyone: Every active user in your system.
