If you are a manager in your organization’s Calamari account, you possess greater privileges than regular users. The exact actions and permissions available to you are described later in this article.
These permissions are generally the same across all three roles—Company Manager, Team Manager, and Direct Manager—but the group of employees they apply to differs depending on your exact role.
Company Manager: Holds the highest level of privileges, covering all users (employees) within the entire account. This role is commonly assigned to General Managers, Head of Operations, Managing Directors, VPs, and other leaders with similar titles.
Team Manager: Has privileges limited to employees who belong to the specific teams they manage. A user may lead multiple teams in Calamari. This system role is often assigned to Department Managers, Directors, Team Leads, and Site Managers.
Direct Manager: Has privileges limited to the employees for whom they are explicitly designated as the direct manager in the employee profile. This role is suitable for individuals holding positions such as Direct Supervisor, Line Manager, or Primary Manager in your organization.
