Assigning Skills in StaffCircle: Super Users vs Managers

This article explains who can assign skills in StaffCircle and how skills can be assigned for managers and other users.

Summary

• In StaffCircle, only Super users can assign skills directly.
• Managers can assign skills only by adding them through a review.

Who can assign skills

• Super users: Have the ability to assign skills directly within the platform.
• Managers: Cannot assign skills directly outside of the review process; they can add skills only via a review.

How skills are assigned by role

• Super users
  • Can assign skills to employees without using the review workflow.
• Managers
  • Can assign skills to employees only when using the review process (skills added as part of a review).

Practical notes

• Use the review workflow when you want managers to propose or add skills for employees.
• Ensure Super users are the designated administrators for managing and updating skills across the organisation.

Conclusion

• For direct skill assignments, use a Super user account. For managers to add or assign skills, include those assignments within the employee review process.
