Granting a User Permission to Manage Absences
To allow a user to manage Absences, you must first assign the appropriate permission in the platform settings.
Steps to follow to grant permission
1. Go to Settings:
From the main menu, open the platform Settings section.
2. Open the License Management section
In the settings menu, click on License Management.
3. Select the relevant user:
Locate the user you wish to assign permissions to and click on their email address.
4. Go to the License and Permissions tab:
This tab allows you to manage the user's access rights.
5. Assign the appropriate permission:
You will see two types of permissions related to absence management:
- "Manage all absences":
Allows the user to manage absences for all employees in the company or on their project (ideal for a superintendent or manager).
- "Manage my absences":
Allows the user to manage only their own absences (useful for an employee who wants to report a planned absence).
Typical use cases
- A Manager may be granted permission to manage the entire team’s Absences.
- An Worker with a Timesheet license may be allowed to manage their own absences, for example, to indicate upcoming time off.

Viewing Absences in the Dispatch Interface
Absences recorded in the Absences tab are automatically visible in the Dispatch interface.
Viewing an Absence
- When an employee is marked absent for a day, a red calendar icon with a cross appears in the Dispatch interface on the corresponding date
- By clicking this icon, the dispatcher can view the absence details
Conflict Warning with Assigned Shifts
