Role Hierarchy in ShiftRova

ShiftRova uses a tiered role system so each person sees only what they need.

RoleWhat They Can Do
EmployeeView their own roster, clock in/out, submit leave & availability, request shift swaps, view their own timesheets and payslips.
ManagerEverything an Employee can do, plus: create and publish rosters, approve timesheets, approve swap requests, view team schedules.
Org AdminEverything a Manager can do, plus: manage billing, configure settings, and invite/remove team members. Full access to all reports.
System AdminShiftRova platform access — manages all organisations, billing, and knowledgebase content.

Custom Job Roles

Beyond system roles, you can define custom job roles (e.g. Head Chef, Duty Manager) under Settings → Roles. These are used for roster scheduling and shift requirements, not for access control.
