Leave Hierarchy

Before diving into the leave hierarchy, it's important to understand the role of permissions in the Leave Module.

We have introduced a new permission called "Grant Admin Leave Permission." This permission determines how leave requests are managed and viewed:

1. When this permission is enabled

   • Any role with this permission will have full access to all leave requests.

   • These users can view, approve, reject, or take any necessary action on all leave types.

   • In this case, setting up a leave hierarchy is not mandatory.

2. When this permission is not enabled

   • A leave hierarchy must be defined for every leave type.

   • If a leave hierarchy is not created for a specific leave type, leave requests for that type will remain hidden from everyone except the Super Admin.

Configuring Leave Hierarchy

To ensure that only specific teams, departments, or leads can manage leave requests:

• Create role types with all relevant permissions enabled, except "Grant Admin Leave Permission."

• Assign these roles within the leave hierarchy based on departments or teams.

• This setup ensures that only designated personnel within the hierarchy can view and manage leave requests for their respective departments.

In summary, the "Grant Admin Leave Permission" provides unrestricted access, bypassing the need for a leave hierarchy. However, if you require department-specific control over leave requests, configure a hierarchy and assign appropriate roles accordingly.
