Admins can add and edit employee info in Perform. Learn more about user roles and managing employee data.

Updated over 2 months ago

Admins on your Breezy Perform account can invite other employees, edit employee info, and manage permissions for your entire company.


User roles and permissions

People you add to your account are added with basic employee permissions and are considered a Direct Report or a Manager. Admins have additional permissions to manage company settings, reviews, and other behind-the-scenes stuff.

  • Direct Reports: Everyone can update their profile and use 1:1s, goals, feedback, and relevant reviews.

  • Managers: Employees who are managers can also manage goals, run reports, and complete reviews for their direct reports. Depending on your company’s settings, they may be able to request and see feedback for their direct reports.

  • Admins: Admins manage the company-wide settings for the account, create and manage performance tools for the whole company, and can add and remove other users. Admins can also grant or remove admin permissions for other employees.


How to invite employees

Admins on your Perform account can invite other employees to join your company. By default, the person who invites another employee is assigned as their manager. You can opt out of this role when inviting employees, and assign or change the manager later.
