Role Availability: All Plans


The basic and default role assigned to anyone joining/added in Freshteam is the Employee Role. However, that does not mean they do not have anything they cannot do in Freshteam. Employee Role comes with a certain set of privileges and functions that help your company work easier and smarter. 


Users with this role will be able to view their own details and other employee’s public fields, refer candidates, and apply for time off. Any Employee user can be a panel member of a job in Freshteam. Panel members can be set by the Recruiter/HR partner/Admin of the account.


Note - If an ‘Employee’ role user has been assigned as a reporting manager of another employee - the user will have access to the public and private fields of these subordinates. HR partner/Admin can control what employee fields are visible to the reporting manager. Click here to know more.
