Overview of user management

User management is efficiently and securely managing user-related activities within the system. Admins can access user management, which involves creating, configuring, and managing user accounts, defining roles and permissions, organizing users into departments or business units, assigning job titles, specifying employee types, and managing user access to various resources. User management ensures access control, streamlines administrative tasks, and maintains a secure and organized system.

You can access the following features in user management:

  1. Users
  2. Roles and Permissions
  3. Departments
  4. Business Units
  5. Job Titles
  6. Employee Types
  7. Locations
Navigate to Settings > User Management.

1. Users (Employees)

You can add and manage the user accounts, track their activities, and view the number of active and blocked users.

You can add and manage the users of your organization.

  1. Select Users, click ADD at the top right, and select the option as required.
  2. Click NEW USER to manually add users, IMPORT USERS to import users in bulk, or View Integrations to sync users from HRIS platforms, and click CONTINUE.

Note: It is recommended to download a new Excel template whenever you import employees.

  • While importing and syncing users from any HRIS platform, ensure that the single-select and multi-select custom field types match with the mapped custom field options on the Engagedly platform.
  • If any employee's hire date or birthdate is February 29th, our system automatically considers February 28th as their hire date or birthdate in non-leap years. Their 30-day, 60-day, or work anniversary reviews are also conducted on February 28th in non-leap years based on their hire date.

Add Users

After adding users, all active employee fields you have added to the sections are available in the AG grid.

In the employee's profile, you can provide multiple custom fields. However, if you add the custom field type as a document, the employee documents are available on their manage profile page, resource center, and talent profile.

You can update the employees' field data when updating their profile information.

All active employee fields are available in the sample template, allowing you to enter employees’ information when importing them.
