Assign Employee to an Organization

Explanation

This activity is used to assign an employee to an organization. During this activity you will have an option to assign a position as well.

Employees can be assigned to multiple organization units - production lines, project groups, departments etc. The assignment can determine things such as employee's supervisors,subordinates, and data access. Every employee has to have at least one primary assignment where they are given a primary position.

During the assignment you will determine what access rights the employee has.

• You assign a self-access role which determines what of his own data the employee can access.
• You can select a position (an optional step for all assignments except for the primary one). If position access is defined, it can imply supervision over others or becoming someone's subordinate. Positions you can select are determined by the organization assignment,i.e., in case of a company assignment, you  select positions from the company, and in case of matrix organization assignment, you select positions from the matrix organization.
  Note: A single position can be assigned in multiple organization units.
