Setting up User Authorities

The authorities section of Engage decides what employees can and cannot do within the Engage application.

When first setting up an employee profile you will automatically be taken to the authority screen on completion of the profile. 

You can also access the authority screen at any time via the authority icon displayed against an employee profile on the employee listing screen.

Note that you cannot update the authority on your own profile. 




The following form allows the administrator to govern the authorities of the selected employee within Engage.

Please note you only need to select ONE choice per authority line. 


To view your own Authority levels, click on the drop-down by your profile in the top left-hand corner of the screen, and click on ‘Authorities’. Please note that you are not eligible to change your own authorities.



An employee will need to log out and back in in order for these authority changes to take effect. 


If you have any other queries regarding Authorities or any other areas of Engage, please contact support@engagesolutions.co.nz and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
